June 3, 1950: Shaun's first wife, Ann Pennington was born. June 8, 1976: David's stepdaughter Caroline Tanz was born. June 10, 1972: David's solo single "How Can I Be Sure" was released. It rose to number 25 on the Billboard chart, where it remained for five weeks. It was released in the United Kingdom on September 16, 1972, and rose to number one on the Billboard chart, where it remained for eleven weeks. June 24, 1972: The New Yorker covered a sold-out David Cassidy concert at the Nassau County Coliseum: "As soon as Cassidy appeared on stage, the little girls in the audience began to scream and take pictures. All the cameras were equipped with flash cubes, and all the flash cubes went off one after another, squirting tiny bursts of light in Cassidy's direction. Flash cubes are a new form of visual applause. We admired the girls' ability to do two things at once... We interviewed Cassidy after the show... He said that after he'd played the Garden he and his staff had sat around trying to figure out how much G.E. and Sylvania had made on flash cubes during his concert. The figure they came up with was nine thousand dollars." June 24, 1972: The New Yorker about the Partridge Family: "The whole phenomenon is rather good-natured. The little girls don't take it entirely seriously. Neither does Cassidy." June 25, 1977: David told the TV Guide "I was a piece of raw meat. I was being manipulated and was powerless to do anything about it. What I wanted didn't count." This in connection with his past as a teen idol. June 28, 1948: David's parents Evelyn Ward and Jack Cassidy
married.

MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER SUE SHIFRIN-CASSIDY I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to support KidsCharities.org. Because of you, the miracle of the Internet, and the technology that we have today, fundraising is being changed forever. What we are discovering is that the Internet provides a worldwide audience that opens up new vistas and opportunities for fundraising and public awareness. What's more, it is very cost effective and the exposure is so vast that even local fundraisers now have an entire planet where they can showcase their causes and activities. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! April 7, 2001 was our first birthday! To date, we have done three live events and four online auctions, which provided over $155,000 to our member charities. Not bad for our 1st year, especially considering that our first event only took place last June! After we distribute monies from our Mother's Day and upcoming Father's Day Online Auctions, we should surpass the $170,000 mark! CURRENT AUCTION Visit our current Yahoo! Father's Day Auction and help the Stars Reach the Kids! Our current auction is full of terrific items and opportunities that you won't find anywhere else. DON'T MISS IT!

LOOK WHAT WE'VE DONE We are growing and learning every day. We are amazed at the number of
people who now visit our website and the amount of exposure Yahoo! has
given us in our auctions. Our sponsors, Wells Fargo Foundation, National
Airlines and Yahoo! are responsible for everything you see here. Without
them, and without YOU, hundreds of wheelchairs wouldn't have been sent
to
