At Random Acts, we value each and every contribution to our organization. The support we receive from our partners and other businesses is invaluable. As you probably heard, Random Acts is hosting an online auction this year July 16-24. This auction was launched to raise funds to assist in furthering our Food Equity initiative this year. All donations will go to the general fund where we can support large and small kindness acts. While totals raised through our auction are ongoing, as of the writing of this post over $22,000 has been raised. This is remarkable and thanks to supporters like you and the contributors below!
This post is dedicated to the large sponsors and the public figures who generously donated items to the online auction itself. You can see their donations in a variety of baskets and virtual meet and greets.
Sponsors and Barbies and GISH, Oh My!
The Random Acts Online Auction would not have been possible without those that donated items. One of the big items includes a Supernatural ball cap signed by several stars of the show: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Alex Calvert, and our co-founder Misha Collins. This item is priceless. We are proud to say that, as of the writing of this article, this item is at an incredible $790!
Many of our supporters have followed a path from Misha’s scavenger hunt, GISH, and they have generously donated a basket full of swag from their past events. It contains some unique items such as your very own GISH sock monkey hat, a Don’t Panic! button, The Rebel’s Workbook 2019 GISH Disorientation Handbook, and many more fun things. This basket will flood you with fond memories of past hunts.
Special thanks to Stands for the donation of five gift cards and their continued support of Random Acts!
Contributing to a couple of different baskets, HAMAMA donated two grow kits and several more seed quilts outside of the ones included in the grow kits.
Breathe Magazine donated a set of four books, “Be Brave,” “Be Kind,” “Be Calm,” and “Be Happy,” as well as their Wellbeing Journal, Mindfulness Journal, and List Journal.
In addition, some other items donated include a 1-year subscription to Thrive Market, a weighted blanket for your eyes from Alyssa Nelson from Nod Pod, and two Panda Planners and a Fusion notebook from Rocketbook.
Further contributions came from Malcolm Christie, who provided a magnificent Bob Mackie Circus Barbie doll, and Rio Grande Games, who generously provided five (yes! five!) board games!
