Aussie X-Files Fans @ Facebook Official Site

On March 11th, 2011, as news of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan broke, our hearts went out to the people of Japan, and Renegades of the FBI, X-Files News, Aussie X-Files, Serenity of X, "Fox & Rat" Virtual Series, X-Files Universe, TV Chit Chat, and Fandom Frosting, teamed up to create X-Philes for Japan--a fandom with a cause!

XPFJ is now teaming up with cast and crew members of The X-files and JCIE/USA’s Japan NGO Earthquake Relief and Recovery Fund in a worldwide fundraising effort that will bring together X-philes from around the world in a fun way for a very good cause!

Now is your chance to own a one-of-kind paper crane, hand-signed in person by cast and crew members of The X-files! (See list below) Starting this Friday, November 11, 2011, X-Philes for Japan will host a series of unique Ebay Auctions just in time for Christmas! The auctions will end 11/21/11, and all proceeds will go to the Japan NGO Earthquake Relief and Recovery Fund.

So, who's signed and why Paper Cranes? In the Japanese culture, the Paper Crane symbolizes honor and loyalty, good luck, peace, happiness and hope. Today the practice of folding 1,000 cranes represents healing and hope during hard times, and legend has it that a person who folds 1,000 paper cranes will be granted his or her greatest wish.

This holiday season, you'll be granting wishes for Japan's recovery with your donations, and getting something pretty cool yourself! Cranes up for auction are signed by one or more of the following people:

David Duchovny - Gillian Anderson - Chris Carter - Frank Spotnitz

Dean Haglund - Bruce Harwood - Tom Braidwood - Mitch Pileggi

William B. Davis - Sheila Larken - R.W. Goodwin - Robert Patrick - Annabeth Gish
