To help "sweeten the deal" a bit and encourage you to give towards the causes that the PHP Women are trying to accomplish, they're offering a special little bonus for those who donate at a certain level:
</p>
<blockquote>
Cal Evans from the <a href="http://devzone.zend.com">Zend DevZone</a> - being the awesome guy that he is - has graciously offered to mail out to the first 10 people who donate to PHPWomen $50 or more, a PHP elePHPant. Yep - you get one of the hard to find and much sought after plushy PHP elePHPants.
</blockquote>
<p>
You can find out more about the goals for their fund raising in <a href="http://www.phpwomen.org/wordpress/2008/01/16/support-a-good-cause/">this other post</a> to the PHPWomen.org blog as well as information on submitting whatever you feel like donating (time or money).

<i>Damien Seguy</i> and company have developed a brand new <a href="http://www.nexen.net/elephpant.php">plush toy</a> based around the PHP elephant idea set out by <a href="http://www.elroubio.net/?p=elephpant">Vincent Pontier</a> a while back:
</p>
<blockquote>
The elephant is a community project. It was started as a crazy idea that I used to suggest to a number of people. I managed to draw a lot of happy smile, but I suspect that half this happiness was due to sheer craziness of the project. [...] Of course, it was impossible to prototype this mascot without involving Vincent Pontier. The rest is history. We started prototyping, and within a month, we got this excellent looking plush toy (we'll tell you about the manufacturer once we get the full load of them).
</blockquote>
<p>
Check out <a href="http://www.nexen.net/elephpant.php">the post on Nexen.net</a> for lots of product shots (including the obligatory <a href="http://www.nexen.net/images/rsgallery/display/DSCN5580.JPG.jpg">cute kid shot</a>) and details on how it was developed and the answer to the important question - where you can get your hands on one.
</p>
<p>
Some groups have already ordered a large number of them for themselves and their members, but an online shop is coming soon to Nexen.net where you can pick up your own fuzzy bit of PHPness.
