Auction item update! We are at 875ish items. The deadline to submit is noon Boston time (Eastern Standard Time) on March 3 - you have almost exactly two days left to submit. Unless you have already talked to one of the team, that deadline means both form submission AND photos.

If you haven't submitted a PHOTO yet, your item will definitely be after the first drop. Even if you have, it might wind up in the second drop anyway - this is essentially a random choice the team is making because of how many items have been submitted.

Hey everyone! We are still in the process of going through the winning bids and notifying people, so if you haven’t received a notification yet don’t stress too much about it.

We’re already getting confirmations of donations being made - I’m not sure how much, but at least $1300 or so, just in the last 24 hours or so.

As far as the actual total of money pledged - look, I don’t want to sound facetious when I admit I’m, like, not emotionally ready to accept it, but we’re somewhere around $18,000-$20,000.

I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that I cried for most of last night. We’re still in the process of combing through all the bids, and there’s TWO special events happening right now happening here (exclusive, made for the fundraiser art) and here (grab bag of awesome!), so we do not know the final total yet. We will provide a final total, as well as updates of donations made.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I’ll be traveling for the next three days but will get back to you as soon as I can.

Also, because it’s been asked, we would be more than happy if any creators feel up to extending their offers, and honoring additional bids. Just let us know (either by replying to the relevant bid) or messaging me directly, so that we can keep track of the totals.
