It all began with a wall full of porcelaine hearts in the "Oval Office" of tripleQ NewMedia.
The gift from Porcelain Artist Margit Denz for the office-opening 1998 was the birth of a unique charity idea:

During the next months 1,000 celebrities around the world will receive porcelain hearts with the request to sign the hearts personally. The returned "autographed" hearts will be put on online-auction. The TOTAL REVENUES of the auctions will be donated to childrens organisations. The project costs will be raised by sponsorship & adsales at the websites www.hearts4kids.org and www.herzfuerkinder.org

Every so adressed celebrity gets a "starpage" on the site. There is a schedule of sent hearts, an arrival list of returned hearts, wishlists and votinglists and many features more...

The first auctions are expected to start mid 2001, subscription to the hearts4kids Newsletter informs about the arrival of hearts for auction.

Managing & Creative Director Elisabeth Wetsch: "We wanted to create a charity idea designed specially for the web - and to prove that charity may be entertaining."
