Doris Day won't sign my lobbycard unless I donate $150 - June 9th, 2015
Well I went to Doris Day's animal foundation website and I donated $10, I then mailed a lobbycard together with a SASE and a letter with the PayPal transaction ID for the donation. Today I got an e-mail from the Doris Day Animal Foundation Team (doris at ddaf.org):
[quoteDear <my name>
Doris Day is in receipt of the âPillow Talkâ lobby card you would like her to autograph. Currently, Doris is only signing memorabilia that is auctioned off periodically on eBay to benefit the Doris Day Animal Foundation. (i.e. a recent autographed "Caprice" press book sold for over $3,000), and therefore asks that folks not send personal memorabilia to be signed  ).
On occasion she will also autograph items, such as CDâs or DVDâs for sale at her Cypress Inn, starting at $150 each, again, with all proceeds benefiting the Doris Day Animal Foundation. Because you have already sent your lobby card, she has agreed to autograph it for a minimum donation of $150. If you prefer not to proceed, Doris is still happy to autograph her photos for free, should you like one instead.
If you choose to make this donation to the Doris Day Animal Foundation, you may do so at , by clicking on any âDonateâ button. Once you receive a credit card or PayPal acknowledgment, you may email a copy of it to doris at ddaf.org.
We look forward to receiving your instructions. Please feel free to email us at doris at ddaf.org.
All the best,
THE DORIS DAY ANIMAL FOUNDATION TEAM[/quote
Well, I'm very disappointed. This autograph was meant for a friend of mine. He's 61 and has been a Doris Day fan all his life. But I can't afford to pay $150, I am working hard supporting my family and making ends meet. I understand she is doing this for the animals, but I believe majority of her fans are not going to be in the position to spend hundreds of dollars on an autograph. I could have just sent my autograph request with no donation like others have done apparently with success, but I donated what I felt I could afford, unfortunately that was not enough for Doris.
Just a heads up for others who are thinking of requesting her autograph, make sure you can afford it. |
