I put up $100 and I will be donating various items.
Fundraising thermometer added. $2,400 raised so far. Thanks to Cemetery Dance for the early kickoff auction items and thanks to the donors!
So if I want to donate a book for auction who do I contact? Is it still Bill?
In most (but not all) instances, it's best if the donor sells/auctions the item them selves and then donates the proceeds.
In the past we have had good intention donors pay $10 to ship a $20 book, that fetched $20 gross at auction and the net was <$15.
Before sending a book, please contact ME (Bill is retired).

$18,000 is certainly a lofty goal, but I know that we've got a couple of really cool projects coming down the pipes. I can't wait to see the finished design.
If a member auctions something they can feel free to mention the proceeds are going to TheDarkTower.org 2016 Haven Foundation Fundraiser. The member should post the auction link in this thread for attention.
RF, I have decided to do this as we discussed. I NEVER win anything so as my elation at the prize of the Jae Lee finally wore off... I decided to sell it (ONLY cause I have a Lee original already and its amazing....). Why? Because of my good fortune:) Also to save on shipping costs for all parties the VERY generous AKC has offered to list said artwork on Ebay. I cannot speak as to when it will be listed but it will be listed today or tomorrow and a link will be provided. I am donating 25% of whatever amount the auction brings in (after fees) and there will be NO RESERVE. We have this valued at $400+ so be interesting to see how it does. Link coming.. thanks
Wonderful! Thanks.
does anyone know how much was raised during the 2010 fundraiser?
I see on the home page that the amounts are given for 2011,2012,1013,2014
but not for 2010.
2015 also does not have a total listed on the home page....
but I know it was 17,000
not counting 2010... looks like so far over the years the site has raised $48,076.19 (over 50 grand I'm sure with 2010's) - that's not chump change.
BTW... I plan on donating my organs to the highest bidder... ok, actually just my "Organ".... and only for a night or two.... but hey, depends on who wins and how much is paid.
Seriously, we got Bill to quit smoking last year (CONGRADS!!!!) ... maybe this year we can get Jerome to give up beer <=(a safe bet on my part, it'll never happen)
<= looking for a bonus supplemental cause to take on.
gonna have to have a group party when we go over 100 grand
Donated $100. All the best for this worthy cause. :rock:
At the top of every page should be a donation button.
I haven't "pimped" this as quite frankly I'm a bit burnt out on fundraising.
Probably a temporary funk, but nonetheless; as things stand now between the direct PP donations and a few auction items, we have less than 25 people eligible for the Grand Prize.
There are less than 125 total total entries.
If you guys/gals don't want to win, continue to stay away. The 25 people that have donated are looking at incredibly good odds for such a prize.
$10 gets one entry, $100 gets the max 10 entries.
Go back through the last few years and look at the Grand Prizes.
A personalized book from King to you.
Members here spend thousands (uh....uh.... Glenn can I get a hallelujah) to get a book signed from King, and they usually get 9 seconds in front of King for a flatsigned book.
This book will be personalized to YOU.
Please look under the sofa cushion for a $10 bill and send it in now.
Jesus will love you, and I might even like you.
