What an AMAZING Group of Fans!

Well, we did it! The campaign is over and TEAM WORK got it done! We can't tell you how thankful we are for all of your support. It's been an amazing adventure and it's only just beginning. Over the next year, we have a movie to make, fans to meet, your perks to deliver and so much more.

The best part of this journey for me has been the fans. All of you have been such a great example to me of the power of  loyal and devoted fans. Think of the records we broke and the others on the list with us. They did it with twice as many, three times as many, five times as many contributors. That means our 3557 contributors truly believed in the project they were funding. For that, Shemar and his team are truly blessed.

We will continue to update this blog, talk to you via social media, share our production news through every stage and ask for your advice on OUR project. This journey is just beginning and we are excited to share it with you.

The worst part of this for all of you has been not knowing the people behind the scenes. I feel honored to have worked with an amazing team that might not get all the fan attention and their own hashtag like me (I still love #TeamErica), but they are even more important in this process. You all haven't met Staci. She's an amazing screenwriter and the operating hand of this campaign. She has diligently worked behind the scenes and is a delight to know. I hope you all get to meet her this year!

Many of you briefly met our 'Wizard of OZ', the true voice behind the curtain, Ray. He's not only Shemar's manager and best friend, he's also the puppet master of this campaign and an inspiration to all who work closely with him. (Just don't tell him because he's confident enough) ;)

There are so many others that make up the Bounce Back team and we thank every one of them.

I don't know how involved I will be with the film in the future, but I know I will always be part of it as a fan, friend and supporter. Thank you all for this amazing experience, and I can't wait to meet you in person in 2014!

-Erica

MIDNIGHT BST

Submit a perk idea and a pledge via email at BBNameYourPerk@gmail.com. 

For example, "I will pledge $2000 for a professional photo shoot with Shemar". We will collect all the pledges and sort through the ones that are possible. If Shemar accepts or we can confirm your perk, you will be told LIVE on the air during the Video-a-thon (and notified via email). To secure your perk, you must pay your contribution online on Indiegogo DURING the Video-a-thon. Once receipt of your pledge is confirmed, you will receive an email confirmation that you have secured your perk!

Certain rules do apply. We ask that you keep it clean and respectful. You must provide your own travel to any event. Your perk should focus on The Bounce Back, it's cast or production since ultimately they are the only things we can commit to with any authority. Any requests for Criminal Minds perks, celebrity friend perks or anything of the like, will only be considered when feasible. 

Examples of perk:

I pledge $400 for a pool party with Shemar.

I pledge $100 for an autograph picture of ____(friend of Shemar)___.

I pledge $1000 for an afternoon on the set of Criminal Minds.

I pledge $100 for an autographed script from The Bounce Back cast.

(The above are just examples to give you an idea of how to request a perk. You can come up with any crazy idea of you own!)

The online address will be announced tomorrow, along with details on how we are going to run the video shout outs. More coming soon!
