ABOUT THIS PROJECT

On May 28th, 2005, an *NSYNC fan turned to her friends and said, "Hey, you know how the guys did that showcase at Pleasure Island in late October of '95, and how they always said Lance joined the group two weeks before that? That makes this October the tenth anniversary of the formation of *NSYNC. Would it be totally crazy to try and put an ad in some major publication, a fan appreciation message to commemorate the anniversary?"

"That's not crazy," her friends said. "That's a great idea. We should do that!"

And that's what we're trying to do.

The *NSYNC 10 Project is an international fan effort to creatively collaborate on a message of celebration and appreciation for *NSYNC, and to raise enough money - approximately $9520 - to run the message in the October 22nd, 2005 issue of Billboard Magazine.

Individually and collectively, the five members of *NSYNC have given so much to their fans. From music that gets us dancing to songs that move us to tears; from interviews that make us howl with laughter to appearances that make us scream with excitement; from the genuine appreciation they have for their craft to the genuine affection they have for each other - all these reasons and more have brought *NSYNC fans together and helped us to build communities of friends, relationships that immeasurably impact our lives and change us for the better.

They were loved then. They are loved still. Help us to tell them.

If you are an *NSYNC fan, please consider donating to the *NSYNC 10 Project. Please help make 2005 a year that Chris, JC, Joey, Justin and Lance will never forget - the year their fans said "Guess what, dorks? We still love you."

UPDATE: We have decided to push the date of the ad's run back to December 17th, 2005, due to the tragedy and devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. We felt that delaying the ad (and fundraising efforts) would allow everyone involved with the project to focus both emotionally and financially on the crisis at hand. We urge everyone to consider donating to disaster relief efforts.
