Happy Project for Awesome 2017!

Project for Awesome is an annual community-driven fundraiser. 

During Project for Awesome, thousands of people post videos about and advocating for charities that decrease the overall level of world suck. As a community, we promote these videos and raise money for the charities.

In 2016, the community raised over $2,000,000, including several generous matching donations. The donations were split between two organizations chosen by John & Hank — Save the Children and Partners in Health — along with twenty charities chosen by the online video community. 

This year, the money raised will be split two ways:

Donations will go to Save the Children and Last Mile Health until 11:59am EST on December 16.

From 12:00pm EST on December 16 through 11:59pm EST on December 19, donations will go to community-chosen organizations, based on votes on the Project for Awesome website. 

P4A’s Indiegogo campaign has an amazing selection of perks to choose from, including the 2018 P4A Vlogbrothers calendar and nerdfighter art!

There’s also a 48-hour continuous livestream (projectforawesome.com/live) starting today at noon EST. John & Hank, along with special guests, will announce new perks, put peanut butter on their faces, inhale helium, perform sock puppet theater, do happy dances, sing Christmas songs, and more. It’s an adventure. You never know what will happen, so tune in and join the party! 

All of the proceeds from our bandcamp sales this weekend will be donated to the Project for Awesome!

It’s Project for Awesome! And that means it’s art perk time! This year I have not just my own work to share, but also my mom’s! She made the Hank and John Giving Bunnies, and I made little sets of matching Hanklerfish goodies with a notebook, a pin, and a constellation patch. If you contribute at the Nerdfighter Art perk level on the indiegogo, one of these cool perks might be yours. But if you don’t get one of these, you’ll get something else cool made by another nerdfighter.

Y’all, I cannot get over how cute and funny the picture of all 30+ BunnyBrothers hanging out together is. They’re so so cute.

I have a few extra pins and notebooks, and I’ll be selling them on Etsy in January and donating the proceeds to the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck for next year’s P4A. Check back here or on my twitter, instagram, or Etsy shop @whimsicalnerd if you’d like one. They will go on sale within the first two weeks of the year. If there’s a lot of interest I’ll make more and try to keep them in stock to raise money for the Foundation year round!
