The over 5,000 members of the Discovery Communications workforce continue to mourn the loss of our friend and colleague Steve. We have been deeply touched by the outpouring of condolences, well wishes, memories and thoughts of Steve's fans from around the world.

Discovery is working on a number of ways to preserve Steve's life dreams and passions, including how his friends and fans can support these ongoing efforts. While we affectionately and unofficially have dubbed these financial contributions The Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter Fund (or "The Crikey Fund"), all donations and contributions in the memory of Steve Irwin should be made to the Wildlife Warriors Fund (http://www.wildlifewarriors.org.au/) to easily and quickly benefit Steve's dream and to keep his projects moving forward as he would have wanted. All donations designated as Steve Irwin Tribute funds will go directly to saving animals in the wild.

Steve's fans can find a welcoming community on the Web at www.animalplanet.com, and Animal Planet will dedicate special broadcast plans for a marathon and a special tribute in the days and weeks ahead.
