Unfortunately we are not able to attend, but if any of our visitors are in the vicinity we would love to hear from you.

As a congratulations gift to Billy for receiving the Star, visitors and members of The WPAP raised $3,000  towards the end of last year that was donated equally between the American Cancer Society and Victory Gardens Theater in December 2008.

Quick update, two items added to The Gallery:

• TV Guide Article – 26th January 2009.
• Thank You Letter from the American Cancer Society re. Donation.

Also below you can watch a great rare early interview with Billy on Live at Five on the opening day of Manhunter in 1986.

I didn’t have the message to hand when we reported Billy’s feedback regarding the Fundraiser & Fan Projects back on December 17th, but below is a snippet from the message we received.

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts and the charity work you’ve done on my behalf, thank you so much for your support. Please let everyone know how much I APPRECIATE THEM!

Peace, Billy Petersen

In respect of the “Hollywood Star Congratulations Gift Charity Fundraiser” we received a very nice letter from Victory Gardens thanking everyone involved for the donation.  Again, any reference to The WPAP really does include the hundreds of you who took part.

We have uploaded the letter to The Gallery for you to read as well.
