'Mean Girls' Day: Cast Starts GoFundMe Campaign For Las Vegas Shooting Victims - Duration: 3:06.
'Mean Girls' Day: Cast Starts GoFundMe Campaign For Las Vegas Shooting Victims
Since 2004, when "Mean Girls" was first released, Oct. 3 has had a special place in people's lives.
It's the day Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett) asked Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) what day it was, after all. And every year, fans and cast alike celebrate the day on social media with GIFs and memes and quotes and memories, but this year, the cast is doing something a little bit different.
Bennett, Lacey Chabert (Gretchen Wieners), Amanda Seyfried (Karen Smith) and Daniel Franzese (Damien Leigh) are asking fans to rally together on "Mean Girls" Day to help those affected by the Las Vegas mass shooting, which killed 59 people and injured hundreds, on Sunday.
Switching up the quote a little bit, Bennett posted a video of his former co-stars and himself announcing a GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise money for Las Vegas victims along with the caption: "'On #October3rd, he asked me to help.'"
The video switches back and forth between the aforementioned cast members as they announce the opening of the donation campaign and ask for the help of fans. "We know today is a special day," Chabert starts out the video.
"And that's because of fans like you," Franzese continues.
"It's Oct. 3," Bennett, and then Seyfried, add.
Throughout the video, the cast members say: "This year, though, we're doing things a little differently. We want to turn the attention to those who need it. After Sunday's tragic events in Las Vegas, let's give back.
In honor of 'Mean Girls' Day, we're asking each of you, the groolest fans out there, to help. We've started a GoFundMe page and a hundred perfect of the proceeds will go to the National Compassion Fund.
If every fan gave just $3 in honor of Oct. 3, just $3, we would hit our goal of $300,000 in no time."
Along with the video, Bennett also posted the link to the donation page, which has its own description about what the "Mean Girls" cast is raising money for and how fans can help:
"The cast of 'Mean Girls' is teaming up this Oct. 3 to do some good. Were asking for just $3 to hit a $300,000 goal. We are working directly with the National Compassion Fund, a program in the National Center for Victims of Crime.
This organization collected and distributed funds to victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting, the Aurora shooting, and even 9/11.
One-hundred percent of funds raised will be distributed to the victims of Las Vegas through the NCF at the completion of this campaign."
The donation page ends by asking people to "do something grool today" and contribute.
"Let's hit this goal together. We might not make fetch happen, but we can make this happen," the GoFundMe page adds at the end.
This donation campaign from the "Mean Girls" cast is only the latest in celebrity responses to the Las Vegas shooting.
Stars like Celine Dion, Stephen King, Brad Paisley, Elizabeth Banks, Miley Cyrus, Ruby Rose and more stars have taken to social media to share their thoughts and sympathies to the victims and their families.

Writing a Personal Statement for University: The Good Enough Mum's Guide - Duration: 9:52.
Hello there. I'm Josephine and I'm the Good Enough Mum and I'm back to give a
little talk about helping your child with their personal statement. So with
the university applications, the personal statement is probably one of the things
that people worry about the most because the personal statement is really
about you selling yourself to the University of your choice and that can
feel pretty daunting. So as parents we can rather be worried about this and
so I thought I'd do a few hints and tips to help you help your child get it to
the best that they can do. So, I think the first thing to remember is
that the universities are looking to recruit students. Although some of the
universities have very popular courses and they're quite competitive there's
also lots of universities where the main aspect is to recruit people to their
course - and even with the competitive ones all they're doing is they're
looking for the candidates who will be a good fit and who show enthusiasm and
commitment to that particular course of study. So that's what you're trying
to demonstrate through the personal statement - that this is a person who
really is interested in the subject, interested enough to want to study it
for three years, and so if you go back to my original little video on choosing a
course there were lots of little pointers there about what to think of
and hopefully that's helped your child to know a little bit more about why
they're applying for their particular course - and it might be a good idea at
this point of writing the personal statement to go back to some of those
thoughts so that they can show to the university that they really do have a
desire and a commitment to this particular course. It's just worth noting
that with the personal statement obviously you can apply for up to five
universities and the personal statement is read by each of the
universities, but the universities don't know where else the individual has
applied to. So it's quite helpful not to mention any particular university by
name and it's quite acceptable if you're applying for two or three quite
different courses to perhaps address a paragraph to each of the subjects in
terms of, you know, so, you would applying for history and then you were applying
for philosophy you'd want to do a subject specific paragraph for history
and a subject specific paragraph on philosophy for example and that's
absolutely fine. But as I say, and I can't emphasize this enough, the most important
thing you want to do is show that you're suited to the course and this is both
through showing an interest and your commitment and demonstrating that
through the personal statement. Now at this point I know as a mum I was quite
worried because particularly for me, my children are quite introverted and apart
from one of them they didn't really do a lot of extra curricular activities and I
was quite worried about this. They haven't had a job, they didn't really do
very much outside of the house, they've had plenty of their own interests but
these were sort of quite solitary activities and I did worry about whether
or not that meant that they'd be good enough for university. But if they're
choosing the course that is of interest to them then I think what was
demonstrated to me, and hopefully what will be demonstrated to you too, is that
they've already got the interest in the subject and they can demonstrate this
through what they've done even if it seems that some they've done nothing but
sit behind their their computer for the last five or six years which was the
case with my children. But it's amazing when you start thinking about the things
that they've done, how often these things do actually measure up to what the
university is looking for. So to get an idea as to how to write the personal
statement, it's quite a good idea to look at the university's course specifications.
So not only will they tell you what sort of grades they're looking for and the
types of subjects but quite a lot of the universities also tell you the type of
candidate they're looking for in terms of their personal qualities and skills
that they'd like them to demonstrate. And it's always worth remembering that
sometimes courses call for particular skills. So, say to become someone who's
working in IT, you need to be able to demonstrate that you've got teamwork
capabilities but sometimes if they haven't shown a huge aptitude for that,
don't forget that the University will be helping them develop those skills anyway
- but it can be quite a head scratching moment when you think to yourself so the
university is asking for team building skills and what has my child ever
done where they've worked in a team? But there will be things that they've done,
they maybe worked on projects at school, they've perhaps the school's got them to
volunteer for something - the sixth forms are usually quite good at getting
their candidates to do some volunteering and running things for them - so you know
have a look at that. Also have a look at what they've done
with their friends and quite often they will have participated in activities
where perhaps they've been working as a member of a team - even for example
running a game, like my oldest was into computer science and ran Dungeons &
Dragons games which may to me have sounded somewhat esoteric but to the
course admissions tutor that was absolutely fine because a lot of
computer scientists are interested in Dungeons & Dragons and also
because that particular student had actually organized the Dungeons &
Dragons game they sort of came across quite well in terms of leadership and
team skills. So it's surprising what you can find to talk about in the personal
statement. So have a look at what the university is looking for. It's worth
when you're thinking about the things that your child has done
don't don't just list them. So if they've done the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award
you don't just want to say that they've achieved the Gold Duke of Edinburgh
Award, it's worth thinking about what the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award has
actually given them - so that would be things like working in a team, the
resilience through the expeditions, being able to carry on even when
conditions are tough going, commitment to volunteering and the sort of sympathetic
response that they might have to the people who they're helping when they're
volunteering. Some of these, some attributes of the particular activities
that they're doing, you could use those when when you're writing the personal
statement (I say you, I mean they, obviously your child to be writing it)
and so think about what personal attributes the particular
activities have helped your child to develop. Help them to think about that,
rather than just listing what they've done. List in what way it's
helped them to develop as a character, as a person, and that will make the
personal statement quite interesting to read. The other thing that I
found quite helpful and perhaps you will too
is that I had a look online at some of the personal statements that you can
find. I found quite a few on a website called The Student Room and when we had
a read of these, it was possible to very quickly identify the similarities in
each of the personal statements - and it's worth thinking to yourself if
everybody else is writing a personal statement like this, what must be the
effect on the admissions tutor who's reading them? And you might not want to
start your personal statement with the same sentence that everybody else uses.
So for example with my student's particular computer science application
every single personal statement that we looked at started with the phrase "I've
been interested in computers since a very young age" and so my student decided
to start her personal statement completely differently and
in fact when she went for interview they said to her, "yours was a really
interesting personal statement", because she thought outside the standard way of
doing a personal statement. So it's worth just having a look online, as much as
anything to see what pitfalls that you'd actually like to avoid. If there's
anything else you'd like to know about personal statements please feel free to
contact me. You can contact me via my page which is The Good Enough Mum.
There's a facility to message me and I'd be very happy to hear from you. I'm going
to come back and do another couple of little short videos - one on having an
interview and how to prepare for an interview and what to expect - and then
the last one I'm just going to touch very quickly on the subject of student
loans. So I hope that video has been helpful, if you'd like to have a look at
any of the videos they're all available on my page which is The Good Enough Mum.
Thanks so much for watching. Bye!
