The Best Birthday Present Ever

Josh and family receiving the Raise 27 check

Raise 27 was a success as Grobanites all over the world raised $43 327 for charity for Josh’s 27th birthday. Josh and his mum, Lindy Groban each send the fans a message.

Josh writes:

I am unbelievably touched by the contributions you all made to the fan conceptualized RAISE 27 campaign. It’s a giant example of both your kindness and your proactive humanitarianism, and I am honored to have you on my team. Every dollar that was donated to this monumental total inspires me to continue working on behalf of children in need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart… BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!

A huge thank you to all of you who made the Raise 27 drive such an over the top, unbelievable success!! My heart cannot express enough how touched we are at this support. Your belief in us and your desire to help the children at Siyawela is a gift of the highest order. Even though my dream of visiting Siyawela had to be postponed for a short time, Andrea is there to help facilitate what we hope to accomplish and to help us feel as though we have all made this visit with her. Your caring will bring so much to this little place that has seen such a huge transformation because of the continual and staggering increase in children orphaned by AIDS. Andrea, our NOAH friends and I have been working on a wish list for the past few months and because of you, we will be able to check off everything on that list!!!! How amazing is that! We will make sure that everyone at Siyawela knows who you are, that there are thousands of Josh’s fans who made this happen and are reaching out to them with love. Again, your commitment to us has touched our hearts.

With gratitude and love,

Lindy
