Thanks to Kaye for this :)<\/p>\n
Was just scrolling through the UPN affiliate site mentioned in another news
\nitem, and found this story. Thought it was kinda cool that we’ve only been
\nthere a week or so, and they really do see how much we love this show, and
\nthem!<\/p>\n
Here’s the story…<\/p>\n
\nGrateful Roswell Fans Donate to Charity<\/p>\n

At the end of last season when fans feared that The WB would cancel Roswell,
\nthe loyal viewers bombarded the offices of the network with thousands of
\nbottles of tobasco sauce to show their support of the show. As this season
\ncame to an end Roswell was again threatened with cancellation but this time
\nfans sent their sauce to UPN, which picked up the series for a third season.
\nNow the fans of this teen science fiction series are showing their support
\nand thanks to UPN in a big way, without the sauce. The Roswell fanatics of Fan
\nForum have organised a new campaign to thank the United Paramount Network for
\npicking up their favourite show. Fans are encouraged to send in a charitable
\ncontribution to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation to show their thanks. “We
\nthought about buying an ad in Variety, or another paper, but the time for
\nthat will be when it can help to get more viewers. And this campaign will not
\nonly say thank you to the UPN, but it will help fight the battle against a
\nterrible disease. All of the money donated is tax deductible, and will go to
\nresearch to fight pediatric cancer.”The campaign will run until June 1st at
\nwhich time the PDF will send UPN a letter informing them of what Roswell fans
\ndid.Contributions can be made in U.S. funds and sent to:<\/p>\nPEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION
