For the past seven years, "Today" has asked notable visitors to our
Green Rooms in New York and Washington, D.C., to sign our Green Room
Book, which we have auctioned off annually on eBay for charity.
 
In the project's first six years, we've raised nearly $400,000 for a
number of organizations, including: The National Colorectal Cancer
Research Alliance, Hospice of Palm Beach County, America's Second
Harvest, The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Project A.L.S. and The
Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund..."
