Thanks to Gelinas for first bringing this to U-M Virus Busters attention on 27 May, 1997.
Statement by Houghton MIfflin (to read the rest of the story)
Thanks to you, the Internet community, we have reached our goal of 50,000 messages and Houghton Mifflin Interactive has donated 2,000 books to hospitalized children who can't be home for the holidays. In recognition of the amazing and voluminous show of s upport from people all over the world, HMI has sent an additional 500 books to these children. As of January 1, 1997, the campaign is officially over and we've closed the Share the Spirit inbox on this web site as well as the mailbox for share@hmco.com.
During the campaign, we encouraged people to share messages of favorite holiday thoughts and memories with the internet community. We hope you'll browse through some of the 63,247 heartwarming messages sent in by this year's participants.
Many thanks to all who have participated. We appreciate your support.
