In March of 2005, Katie O'Brien, one of FictionAlley's longtime writers, lost her battle with leukemia. Even while she was in the hospital fighting against her illness, she continued to find strength as she wrote her story, assisted by her father, Dave O'Brien. When FictionAlley learned that Katie had passed, they realised that the best way they could honour her memory would be to provide other writers with some help in making their dreams come true.
$4500 in profit raised from sales of these wristbands will go to fund the first three years of the Katie O'Brien Memorial Scholarships - in 2006, they plan to award one for writing, one for art, and one for community service; each recipient will receive $500 from FictionAlley to use towards his or her education. If you live in the US, as of today, you can order wristbands by following the banner link; as of this afternoon, you'll also be able to order via that page if you live in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan or Mexico. Residents of all other countries can order via FictionAlley as of today -- I hope!
Well, you know. If you can...
