The actor will see you now
‘Twilight’ star raises cash for cancer research
For fans of the “Twilight” series, it’s one of life’s great mysteries: Why is there no Team Carlisle?
Edward and Jacob (or Jacob and Edward, if that’s how you prefer it) seem to attract all the screaming, red-faced, teary-eyed fans (and their screaming, red-faced, teary-eyed moms) who pledge their love and allegiance for all eternity.
Amid that chaos, it’s easy to forget that Dr. Carlisle Cullen – the blond patriarch of the Cullen clan and dreamy-eyed proponent of vegetarian vampirism – is just as scream-worthy. And it doesn’t hurt that, on the big screen, Carlisle is played by Peter Facinelli, an actor of the tall, dark and handsome variety who can easily hold his own alongside Robert Pattinson’s jaw line and Taylor Lautner’s biceps.
“Whenever I talk with fans who know me as Carlisle, it is a really humbling experience,” Facinelli says. “I’ve had fans come up to me and they just don’t speak, which always surprises me. I want to tell them, ‘Don’t be shy. I’m just like you. I’m a fan of these books – and this character – just as much as you are.’ ”
Facinelli is scheduled to make an appearance Saturday at Jefferson Pointe as part of a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (www.alexslemonade.org), which raises money for childhood cancer research via home lemonade stands. It’s named for the originator of the idea, Alex Scott, who died from cancer at 8 years old.
Facinelli, who also stars on the Showtime series “Nurse Jackie,” has worked with the organization for the past year, squeezing in autograph fundraisers whenever his schedule allows, he says.
“I want to spread awareness,” Facinelli says. “When I learned about the organization, it really moved me that Alex’s parents were able to rise above their grief and help other people. So with these autograph signings – the fans seem to have a good time, the organization benefits and everyone wins.”
Much of the success of Facinelli’s autograph tours is because of fans of the “Twilight” saga, he says, which begins to wind down this fall with the release of the first part of “Breaking Dawn,” the final installment of the series.
After so many years working with the same group of actors, Facinelli says the end is bittersweet.
“For me, I can’t believe it’s gone so quickly,” he says. “It feels like yesterday we were doing the first one. I love the cast. They’ve become family to me, so it saddens me that I won’t be on set with all of them anymore. We have a great rapport with each other. But, after making five films, it’s also time to move on.”
As the father of three daughters with wife Jennie Garth – all of them avid “Twilight” followers – Facinelli counts himself as a “major fan” of both the books and the movies and is looking forward to seeing the two-part film adaptation of “Breaking Dawn.” He’s especially interested in how director Bill Condon constructs the honeymoon scene between Bella and Edward and the final battle between the Cullens and The Volturi.
“I’m one of those fans waiting to see exactly how they handle everything,” he says. “I haven’t seen the movies and I wasn’t there for all of the scenes, so I’m really excited. I get to experience it just like all of the other fans do. Because, really, that’s what I am.”

Check out Peter 's new effort to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade
Fantapper Campaign Gives Fans Vampire Treatment While Supporting Childhood Cancer Charity
IRVINE, Calif., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Actor Peter Facinelli, star of THE TWILIGHT SAGA and "Nurse Jackie," has launched a new effort to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer through an online experience. With the help of Fantapper, Peter has invited fans to submit photos for a special vampire treatment which they can share digitally with their friends. Once the campaign reaches two million viewers, the Southern California Foundation will make a $50,000 donation to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
A longtime supporter of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ASLF), Facinelli hopes to bring new awareness to the organization while engaging with fans through Fantapper.
"Fans can support ALSF without spending a dime – and have some fun in the process," said Facinelli. "Fantapper gives me a way to connect with people directly and share the things I'm passionate about – like supporting kids and families struggling with childhood cancer. And who wouldn't want to be turned into a vampire for a great cause?"
People can email their photos to peter@fantapper.com and watch for the results by downloading Peter's free Fantapper app atwww.ifiwereavampire.com.
"We have been so thrilled to have the continuing support of Peter Facinelli in the battle against childhood cancer," said Liz Scott, Alex's mom. "We are hopeful that Peter's fans – and everyone interested in supporting kids facing childhood cancer – will participate and share #ifiwereaVampire with their friends and family. We think the Fantapper campaign is a win-win opportunity to support our efforts."
The campaign is currently live and will run through Monday, June 27; full details are available at: www.fantapper.com.

About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $40 million towards fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 200 research projects nationally.

Peter to Sign Autographs in New Jersey
Doctor's visit
An actor who is part of the wildly popular "Twilight" movies will visit the area tomorrow to draw attention to two truly worthy causes. Alex's Lemonade Stand, which raises money to fight childhood cancer, and the Community Blood Council of New Jersey welcome Peter Facinelli, better known as Dr. Carlisle Cullen of the vampire Cullens.
Organizers of the event at Quaker Bridge Mall see it as a way to involve young people in a very simple act with profound reverberations. Statistics show that most of us will need blood or blood products in our lifetime, yet less than 5 percent of the eligible population donate. Many members of that eligible population are fans of Mr. Facinelli and his work as the empathetic doctor.
They can emulate the good doctor's kindness with a donation. A single pint of blood can save the lives of three people. And a staggering 4.5 million Americans would die each year if it were not for blood donations.
Blood and platelets can be used for trauma victims -- those injured in accidents and fires -- heart surgery patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease.
After the tough winter, blood stores are depleted; snow and ice forced the cancellation of several blood drives. Yet the need for blood is continuous. Every two seconds, a patient in the United States needs a transfusion. Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets just five days. They need constant replenishment.
The process itself is simple, a quick four steps that consist of taking a medical history, a mini-physical, donation and snacks. From start to finish, it involves about 45 minutes. After experiencing the easy and pain-free procedure, many donors make it a habit to give blood.
It's one of those things, those nagging things, we hear over and over and tend to tune out. Give blood. Eat your vegetables. Drive carefully. Wash your hands.
Yet, following that advice really does benefit us -- and others.
We've seen the immediate generosity of young people, how it helped power the massive relief efforts in Haiti and New Orleans. And we know young people in the Mercer area could make a serious dent in the annual need for approximately 38,000 units of blood for New Jersey residents who require transfusions.
Those wishing to donate blood should contact the Community Blood Council of New Jersey, (609) 883-9750, ext. 145, or visit givebloodnj.org. Donors will automatically be entered to win a private dinner later that evening with Mr. Facinelli, and the first 25 donors will receive an autographed T-shirt.
