MAKE A WISH TO SAVE A WITCH - DONATION
The fan base’s response to The Secret Circle cancellation has been astounding and a bit humbling. Fans trended at least 2 topics worldwide on twitter the day of the announcement and have since started 3 major petitions with the largest receiving over 23,000 signatures. The second largest has become the 5th most signed Twitition ever started in a matter of days (over 18,000 signatures!).
Emails encouraging the reversal of the cancellation by The CW have poured in and many fans have sent physical letters to the network offices as part of our mail campaign. Fans have even begun to contact other networks (ABC Family, MTV, & SyFy) hoping that they’ll revive the canceled (but beloved) series. All of this has garnered some media attention, including articles from writers at Hypable, ATV Today, Chevron One, and Toronto.com.
This made us think. There are so many voices out there fighting for one cause: to bring backThe Secret Circle. And though it’s a cause we fully stand behind, we’re very aware of the power of those numbers, and how they could make a difference for someone in need. So we at STC have decided to utilize the passion of the TSC fan base to help make someone’s wish come true.That’s why we’ve launched the “Make-A-Wish to Save-A-Witch” campaign.
This campaign is aimed at getting the attention of MTV Networks. We may be asking a bit more from all of you for this, but we KNOW that if you participate, this will get us noticed. For our “Make-A-Wish to Save-A-Witch” campaign, we are collecting donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation International (as there are both U.S. and International fans). These donations will be made on behalf of MTV Networks. We are asking fans who want a network pick-up of The Secret Circle to donate to the charity. We are requesting that you donate between $1 and $10. We know most of you don’t have money lying around, but if everyone who has signed our gopetition donated only a $1, then we’d have donated over $20,000 to the foundation.
These donations will be like your very own appeal letter, asking MTV Networks to consider picking-up The Secret Circle. We are working directly with someone from the Make-A-Wish Foundation so donation reports will be sent to the network periodically. The more people who donate, the larger our appeal to the network. This is in its own way like the Chuck fans appeal through purchasing subs. We are putting our money where are mouths are. Except with this campaign, we are giving to charity and using our power to help others–something no one can ignore.
CLICK HERE to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. When donating, please do the following:

Let’s keep the magic of The Secret Circle alive by creating some magic in another person’s life. Maybe with all the wishes we help grant, ours will be granted in return.
