Signatures For Charity
Where Autograph Collecting and Charity Meet
Our Mission
To provide one location where the
hobby of autograph collecting and the helping of people come together.
Many athletes sign autographs through the mail or at events and all or part of
the fees they generate go to charities. This website will highlight those
special athletes that continue to give even when off the field as well as the
charities that they support.
About the Website
This website is divided into two main
parts: (1) For information about these athletes that care, their contact
information, donation information and biographical information, you can find
this in the Athletes
section; (2) The Charities
section, as you would expect, provides information about the charities that are
supported by the athletes.
The athlete section is divided by
sport as follows:
Some of the upcoming features for
this site will include a section that lists sports related charity events,
donation information for players that need our help but can no longer sign
(e.g., Pete Pihos), and the inclusion of non-sports celebrity signers.
Profile
This is a brand new website that has
been created through the intermingling of my many years (almost 20 years) of
autograph collecting with my desire to help people. This entire website
was created by, funded and maintained by me - a sports fan and webmaster. After
sending out dozens of autograph requests through the mail and getting many back
for free, this is kind of a way for me to give something back. Also, if I
do make any money from this website, the revenues will go to maintaining the
website and anything extra will go to charity (Autism Research Institute and/or
the American Diabetes Association)
