Chris' Birthday - Donation to ONE
As many of you have, I have been trying to think what would be a good birthday present for Chris. But what can you give to Chris that hundreds of others won't and that will be really special to him?
When I thought about Christmas and how so many people do not have all that we have, I realized that was the answer.
Since the ONE organization means so much to Chris, consider making a donation to One as a birthday present for Chris. ONE emailed me that they do not have a way of donating on someone's behalf. But if you will email me with the amount of your donation and your name (or no name if you prefer), I will send a birthday card to Chris' addresses (the one given on DO and another that was posted) that a donation of $--- was made to One in his name on behalf of Daughtry Official and mrdaughtry.com who started this effort.
Here is the link to ONE:

Daughtry...one addiction that I am proud of!

I hooked up with my donation to ONE at the start of Daughtrys touring when they did the small shows...Chris had supporters from ONE pass out cards to fans in line telling us about the organization. So i went to the website and saw what it was and how i could help, even in small amounts. I started a monthly donation of $5. every month i feel a part of something that i know has done alot of good in the world and it just makes you more proud to be a part of Chris's fan base and you just keep on trying to do any good you can big or small....cause it all starts with ONE.
thanks chris
thanks daughtry
thanks to the totally cool fans ive met here
peace be with you

Thanks also to Karen for advising Chris of everyone's efforts. It's nice to know we were part of his birthday thoughts in a small way.

What an amazing gift you all have given to Chris. I passed the information onto him for you."
Thanks to the incredible Daughtry fans who are so caring and giving. For those who couldn't give because of the time of year, do not feel bad. There is always tomorrow and the next day and the next......
And tammyb1995, please keep us informed about your progress organizing ONE in NC. Although I am in Virginia, I am not too far away.

Thanks to all who were able to contribute..... what an awesome idea and gift. It's always a question of what to give someone who's traveling all over, and can't take all that much on a bus. A touching gesture is always a good idea, and God knows the charities need it. Unfortunately this hit me at a bad time financially between Christmas and paying for a semester of school...... but I plan on making a donation when I can.

www.daughtryunofficial.com
well I have checked the ONE site to see what it is all about and I think it is absolutely awesome what they are doing, so I signed up to volunteer, and there is really nothing going on much in NC to help with this cause so once I get all the info. I hope to get some DAUGHTRY fans together and really make this cause a big one for NC, after all it is Chris's home.

It is so nice to see so many people are continuing to donate to ONE. $2008 was the amount collected at the time the e-mail was sent to RCA Karen indicating that a donation was made to ONE o/b/o Chris' birthday. I am sure Chris will be pleased with all the donations ONE is receiving from his fans. Perhaps some couldn't give before Christmas and are able to do so now. Linda, Val and Jill were gracious enough to organize this effort and tally up the donations to present to Chris on his birthday via RCA Karen. They can not be expected to continue adding up any additional donations. I am sure Chris will know through them or RCA Karen that additional people have contributed to ONE as well.
He will appreciate everyone's effort to participate even those who supported the idea, but were not financially able to give.
DAUGHTRY fans are the best!
Two additional contributions were made in time to include their names on the card, bringing the total to $2068. Please continue to donate to ONE and keep this thread going. When you make a donation, list it here to notify Chris that he is the inspiration for giving to this great cause. We don't need a special card. This is it.

WOW what a total!! That's gotta be a good sign for things to come in 2008! So awesome!

!!!*
*Daughtry...always makes me smile
...but I did it anyway. I had read somewhere that they were waiting until after the holiday...haven't been around here much lately. Oh well - it's the cause that truly matters anyway! Happy Birthday Chris
And yes, I'm believing that the amount of $2008 is a good indicator of "you get what you give"...and Chris has given all of us so much that I'm so happy we were able to collect this much for One. It's definitely a good sign that 2008 will be a good year for a lot of people who benefit from this great organization.
And I believe it means 2008 will be an even more amazing year for Daughtry, and in turn, all of us crazy, hardcore, diehard, faithful fans.
Happy Birthday, Chris, and Happy 2008 to all of my DO.com family!!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank God for giving us Chris Daughtry! He is an absolutely miracuously amazing MAN! He's not god and never tries to act like he is, but he had definitely been sent to us by God!
I also want to thank Chris for showing us how to live as a Godly Man! He met and married a Beautiful Woman, through and through, named Deanna who unselfishy shares her husband, lover and best friend with us. She also has two wonderful children whom he now calls his own and gives them all the love he possibly can! Therefore, he is a light to the world. Shining by love and example, that he lives his life through Christ and it doesn't matter how you came to be a family ~ to live and love as ONE!
Thank again, for all y'all do for us! I hope and pray that you have a very blessed birthday and continue to live your life for Christ and your family and are able to spend more time with them this year!
Way To Go DAUGHTRY FRIENDS AND FAMILY for donating $2008.00 in honor of Chris to help bring in the 2008 New Year. It's a sign of things to come!
Here's a beautiful video I thought I would share ~
