Though I am only 22 and work as a server trying to pursue my dream that Barbra has inspired, led and taught, I would be willing to give everything I posses to this charity to only hear some words of wisdom from the most inspirational director, producer, actress, singer, political speaker, who has had the greatest impact in my life. I would donate a trillion dollars if I had it, but the charity's that the Streisand Foundation are too important to ignore, and that is why my money is donated to them. Thank you for your inspiring words and life Barbra!! I will love you forever!

Ms. Streisand,

Good luck with your fund raiser and thank you for all that you are and do for what is right and what is good. I wish I could afford it but at this time I am a student who is a displaced worker from the recession. I went back to college to retrain as a Radiation/Oncologist Therapist. However, the Koch Brothers who funded the tea party are now here in California attempting to get into the student loan business. Not sure if you all watched what happened to the students at UC Davis and recently at Santa Monica Community College where the students were sprayed with pepper spray for a quiet and peaceful demonstration of the school change in financial aid policies, for which they had a right to do. They are wanting to continue to cut back classes and lay off teacher and close programs and then say that only a certain number of people can attend but if you have money to spend, like the out of state tuition costs, they will offer classes. City College San Francisco is worried about becoming insolvent and they have been open since the 1940's....OUTRAGEOUS..!!!!!! and this is all because now this forces the students to go the banks, the Koch brothers and borrow money. In addition, they want to charge California residents/students out of state tuition if you fail a class. Which is a D now days. I wanted to put this out there that this is a fight. They want to make education less available and making harder for lower income people to get ahead. Wasn't the American Dream if you work hard and try you will succeed? That you want to contribute, be responsible. I wanted to put this message and hopefully motivate folks to wake up and vote properly and vote Democrat! There is no Republican on their side. Now Corporations have a right to vote, God help us with the upcoming Prop 8 ruling and this alleged conservative justice in our Supreme Court.

Sincerely,
Daniel

Barbara: I have been a fan since your SnowBird Album, your voice gives me such revelation, i have such peace and contempment when i hear your voice. When i hear the song No One Is Going To Hurt you it makes me think of my Mother who i lost when i was Fifteen. I am now 53 and still your music sets me free. My wife bought me your two Concerts on DVD for my 50th Birthday and i think i have them worn out. Barbara it would be such a thrill for me to come to your concert at your home. I know i never can because i have a been off of work since May 2010 with a knee injury and my wifes income is the only one we have, if it wasn't for section 8 housing we would be homeless. But i have my Concert DVD's so will have to be content with that! I love you lots Mrs. Brolin!

Thank you for coming into my life!

Devoted Fan,

Hello Barbara,
What an honor it is to just write this letter. I love you. I grew up with you. I was the one that did skits of 'Sam you Made my Pants Too Long' for my Father. He also loved you dearly, (romantically too). He passed a little over a year ago.
I first saw you in "On a Clear Day". I was breathless! Not only did I hear the beautiful music coming from your lips, but you were also beautiful. Ahhh, you and Jack Nicholson! And then I finally got to see you in "Hello Dolly" and you were masterfull.
Then a lot of personal things started happening...life if you will and the next thing I knew I was sitting in a theatre waiting for the sensational music of "The Way We Were", Ahhh, Robert Redford! Oh, Barbara! What a babe! Then the next thing I knew (after a couple of babies), it was "A Star is Born". Chris Christofferson (sp),.... he was okay but??? Who am I to question? You should have seen some of the choices I made! lol.
Anyway, life went on for me, life went on for you and all of a sudden I'm hearing this incredible piece of music about this incredible city I've still never seen, the song excites me still..."New York State of Mind". WOW! My favorite song from the Superman album is Lulaby for Myself. I can just see you singing that. I sing that!
And now, your music cradles me, comforts me, reminds me, lifts me, inspires me, makes me want to reach for all that I can possibly attain!
I would love to attend this concert. I have never had the honor of attending one of your concerts. Due to my disability, I am unable to work... but I'm working on that....I'm always working on that. And financially I've always let men run things... until I divorced. They just never saw things like this, as important as I do.
I would love to meet President Bill Clinton. I saw him in Minneapolis once. I gave him a really dirty look. So skeptical. I think I scared him...he looked scared. But I admire the man. He turned things around in this country. He definitely changed my view of how politics can work. I would like to hear more of what he thinks about foreign policy. I think we are way over-extending ourselves. Anyway, who am I? He just seems like a very brilliant yet concerned, sincere person.
Please Barbara, please allow me to be one of your guests. I'll do my skit!
Also, I use to always take part in Take-Back-The-Night marches. It's a great thing to advocate for! Women need as much support as they can get.
Thank you for reading this. Really. Zina Marie

Dear Ms Barbra,

This is a thank you note. Of course I would be in heaven attending this event and supporting the cause -- but this is out of my financial league for now -- so reading about it and seeing the pictures will be my treat! So, this is a thank you note.

Without knowing it...you taught me to sing. I am 43 and I still need to "listen to some Barbra" when I have a performance coming. I believed/believe every word you sing -- which to me is the ultimate indication of a great singer -- telling me that story like it is their own. Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston were my vocal coaches -- unbeknownst to them!

This past November I had the honor of singing for another hero, David Foster, at an "Idol" like event that was honoring him and the high school that we are both alumni's of (in Victoria, BC, Canada). He spoke well of my performance and it was a tremendous honor to be able to sing as he sat at the piano earlier in the day at rehearsal. What a thrill!! And who did I warm up to at home before I made way over to this once in a lifetime event? Barbra Streisand -- about an hour of singing with you and I felt about as ready as one can be! In 1986 (my Grad year) I had the honor of combining you both (David and Barbra) by being asked to perform the rendition of "Somewhere" that you brought to life. My life is jam packed with beautiful moments!

Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli and I have done MANY duets -- I just need to tweak the fact that neither is aware of that! HA! But I have learned a lot doing this...singing with my favorites and to not say thank you when I have this opportunity would be rude! Plus, whiIe I can't be sure, it's nice to feel you that you will actually hear/read this!

Here is my performance http://youtu.be/0HsU296GeBI for David Foster, Nelly Furtado and Amy Foster last November - if you watch to the end you'll hear the judges review. It was a COOL night!

Thank you for the class act that you are...as a performer and as a person!

Thank you!

I would love to attend this fabulous event...but I'm sorry to say I don't fly...so I'll have to wait until you throw another event on the East coast!

Barbra, a week doesn't go by that someone doesn't call me Barbra...I look like you...or that's what everyone thinks! One day I got out of a limo in NYC and I heard someone yell..."there's Barbra!"...I said to the gentleman I was with..."Where is she?" and he said, "they're talking about you!"; with that, people stormed me and he shielded me and got me into the restaurant....When people call me Barbra, I tell them that I don't have your voice or your bank account.....so I became a talent agent...just last year...and although I may not be making a fortune, I'm having a ball with it! Music has always been my passion!

Like you, my roots started in Brooklyn...my Mom lived on Ocean Parkway and Avenue "U"....her cousin, Estee Lauder, told me about the old days in Brooklyn...and my Dad grew up on the Lower East side...so although I was born in NJ and have lived here all my life....I learned to speak Brooklynese.....since every weekend I was taken to NY to visit my Grandmother, Aunts & Uncles, etc....I have not lost my desire for Egg Creams and Knishes from Yonah Shimmels....

One day maybe we will meet...I am always honored to be called Barbra and if you're friendly with Fran Drescher....she's another favorite of mine....I watch THE NANNY all the time...she's fabulous and I laugh my tush off...love that grandmother!!!!

Please raise lots of money and tell Bill Clinton that if he ran again, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat...I voted for him before and I'd do it again!

Enjoy this special day!!!!

Dear Mrs. Barbra Streisand-Brolin:

There are so many people around the world who would give anything they could to be able to be at this event or any of your events. I am going to be 50 the month of your now, sold out concert in October. There is a bidding war for this event and I'm sure any other event that you do.

Everyone loves you and admires what you have done and continue to do, share your beautiful voice with us. I ended up permanently disabled almost 14 years ago due to SEVERE CHILD ABUSE by my father who was born in the Holy Land. Just because we are Jewish doesn't mean that bad things can't happen to them. It took me almost 20 years to forgive them, as my mother watched and knew and did nothing to stop him.

I am the one that wrote about my Bubby taking me to see you when I was around 10. That movie helped me in my life so much. I was able to accomplish things I never would have if I hadn't seen that movie.

I am a single mother and my daughter was taken out at 32 weeks and the doctor said he miscalculated the numbers and that he was sorry. She has gone through more in her almost 14 years then any child should and I now she requires Brain Surgery. We don't have good medical care in Arizona and I fear for her life and if possible would move back to the East Coast just to get better medical care. I don't know what to do. I wish I had the answers. My father destroyed my spine so I am in constant pain.

My point is, is that everyone has a story and a wonderful reason to want to meet you and the President. To me President Clinton will go down in history as being one of the BEST PRESIDENTS we have ever had in this country.

Unfortunately, 99% of us can't afford the DVD let alone to see you in person. I hope I get the chance one day, as I have a very serious heart condition that they won't help me with here. But the truth is, 99% of us can't even afford to start the bid let alone bid anything at all, so whomever does will have the time of his/her lives.

That's the way the world works, there is us and there is all of you and we can't compete with that, not financially anyway.

I have always been a huge fan of your music and you voice, like an Angel, and have loved you sing forever and maybe one day I will get a call that I won a contest to meet you, although I know that it will probably never happen, I suppose only G-d knows that answer.

I can, however, continue to wish you and your family blessings and love and maybe I will be that 10 year old girl my Bubby brought me to see in the movies and was lucky enough to meet a real live STAR!

Mazel Tov in all that you do and to all of your family.....Carmela (Hebrew name)

Barbra my life dream would be to see you sing in person, I love hearing you sing. I love your movies and my very first movie was Funny Girl when I was 16 years old.
However I have had a trip planned for over a year with my husband to go to Hawaii for our 30th wedding anniversary with my daughters in laws also celebrating their 30th. I can't make the concert on the 14th of June, but I guess I will be there in spirit. My husband just got back from Afghanistan and he really needs this trip to Hawaii. If ever another chance comes around to hear you sing I would love to be there.
If you are in San Diego sometime I would really love to meet you and your husband.
Thank you

This would be a dream of a lifetime! But the bid is now over $50,000 and while I admire Ms Striesand in particular for her tenacity and awareness - and President Clinton and Barbra for their views of how we can get to and make a better future for everyone, I am afraid that Andy has a great idea to make it available on DVD. I realize that this could invade privacy etc,but what a terrific idea for more funds to Cedars. Like the Crowdrise fund raiser lots of people could help with their great work!
Hope it is a wonderful event!!

I have loved your music forever. I met you years ago when i was in a Jon Peters film being filmed in SF. Bill and Hillary are also my favorite. I was a huge Hillary supporter in 2008 as well as a delegate. I was also one of the Hillary 300. I would so love to have my picture with You and President Clinton. Pick me please!!!

As a young black male raised in a christian home, no R&B no music but church music was played , but Barbra Striesand's Hello Dolly came on and my mother said okay you can watch, next I saw "For Pete's Sake" I was then able to purchase an "album " from Columbia Records wow Barbra was bigger than life, my first purchase was "People", then "Stoney End" I have never been to a Streisand concert I've only been blessed to watch her on TV... my dream has always been to speak to Barbra and thank her for all the love through her music.....and movies What's Up Doc???????????

Love you,

Barbara is one of the most amazing women of our time she has managed to be quietly influential in making many things happen in our world without making things about Barbara. She is a real lady and THE MOST AMAZING SONGSTRESS I HAVE EVER HEARD.
Hats off to Lady Barbara!

If they're smart -- and Barbra Joan Streisand is nothing if not brilliant -- they will film/video this event and release a DVD so they can raise even more money for Cedars.

Having been an inpatient at Cedars-Sinai no fewer than NINE times in the last three years, I deeply appreciate Barbra's tremendous support of this outstanding hospital.

Just a thought -- regarding the "and other surprises" -- perhaps the Divine Miss M could be one of those surprises????? This would be a perfect opportunity for my top two favorite divas to FINALLY perform together, yes??????????

If I had $40,000 + to donate, I would---at least we can trust Barbra and Bill to use the money wisely! They are the most unique, common-sense individuals around today. We are all blessed to have them.

Barbara makes the world magic and liveable. President Clinton made the world tolerable.

A dream is a dream. Dreams can be real, right?.
I'm from Mexico, I grow up listening the great voice of this angel. When I feel bad I just listen her voice and all seems be diferent, I can feel the lyrics 'cause she not only open the mouth and sings, no, she feels them, she lives every one of them and I have to thank her for the beutiful motions that shake my body but mainly my heart.

Now a days there are not SINGERS, perhaps a lot of people just open the mouth without rithm, they only sing for sing or also for money, without heart, you know what a mean?. But Mrs. Barbra goes far far away from that, she is more than that, she is the voice of an angel. Her voice can go everywhere she wants to, she does not need to eat a microphone to be heared, her voice is clear and really beautiful, it's a gift.

One voice, one heart, an angel on earth. Please keep the music playing, for the way we were, people need voices like yours MRS. Barbra Streisand.

My best regards (from Mexico)
Mónica

Barbra could you have another way for people who love you and your music have a chance to enjoy your event who do not have that kind of money to bid on this. I've love your music for years. i adore everything about you. If i had money i would bid.

A DREAM COME TRUE!!! I am saying my prayers right now to be part of such a spectacular event.. Is it just me or can I invite my brother Geno? You would love him too! We are American Italian from Boston originally, kind, gracious, funny and loving people. Me? I am living the dream here in LALA Land 16 years now, still got the accent though. My bro, Geno and I have been fans since 1963 and next year if our 50th Anniversary of enjoying all your GREAT work. Also Thank You for the GREAT Service you do in helping those less fortunate.. Your Noochness aka Karen Nooch Egidio
