Vanessa Amorosi gave a little bit more than the other acts who appeared on the Seven Network's telethon (4 and 5 October 2008) in Perth. She donated her song "The Simple Things (Something Emotional)" to use for promo, and did an in-store signing. Trax Music stores donated half of the price of her single for sales over the weekend.
