7th International Tom Hanks Day is here!

March 23, 2010

The 7th annual fundraiser dedicated to Tom Hanks is here! The event promises to be bigger and better than ever. Films featuring Tom will be screened throughout the day.

Organiser, Kevin Turk, has also teamed up with ILikeFun – the official T-shirt company of Tom Hanks Day. ILikeFun have produced several spectacular International Tom Hanks Day designs, which are available to buy from the ILikeFun website.

Money raised from T-shirt sales and the event will go to our Haiti Humanitarian Radio Fund. The project will provide wind-up and solar-powered Lifeline radios to children that were effected by the January 2010 earthquake. Children will be able to obtain access to basic education and will ensure Haitian children receive ongoing education.

The 7th International Tom Hanks Day will be at Galaway Bay at 500 W. Diversy, Chicago, IL, Saturday 27 March at 1:00 pm. If you cannot make it to Chicago for the big event, no problem! Donations to Lifeline Energy can be made on our website or you can purchase an International Tom Hanks day T-shirts from ILikeFun.net.
