Dusty Charities


Beginning in October, 2007, to celebrate our forum's first anniversary, Let's Talk Dusty! fans began raising money for various charities and causes in honour of Dusty. 

To date we have raised -

  1. £750 GBP to dedicate a day to Dusty at the Royal Marsden Hospital on her birthday in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

  2. £300 GBP in support of The Dusty Springfield Animal Fund, 

  3. £500 GBP and counting for a Flower Fund for Dusty's marker in Henley, 

  4. £500 GBP for The Cats Protection Society and

  5. £300 GBP to the Wildlife Waystation in California, both charities Dusty herself supported.

One of our biggest sources of fundraising has been the sale of hundreds of raffle tickets.  An amazing assortment of Dusty prizes are donated by fellow Dusty fans, including original drawings or pastels of Dusty.

Monies are also raised from sales of Dusty t-shirts, CDs, calendars, badges, and DVDs. 

Many of these--including black polo and tshirts with Dusty's signature in hot pink--are still available for fans. 

Check the links below for details on the latest raffle and other offers of merchandise for sale with proceeds to charity.

See the LTD forum Wishin' and Hopin' section for all fundraising offers and news.
