It is not even 9pm here in Alabama and I am absolutely going to bed. 😂 See y'all in 12 hours.

We have sent out our first round of emails! Please check your spam folders/weird gmail filters/under the bed for it! It may take a bit for our server to deliver all of them, but if you don't have one by tomorrow morning reach out to us! (Please don't panic before that!)

We would be emailing you within the next few days (we have to confirm with all of the donors first) but I can already tell you I'm pretty sure the Bridgerton stuff was all one-of-a-kind!

At this point, the Official Amount Raised shifts from the number listed on the auction to the number listed on our fundraising page. We’ll keep you updated!

Also I am truly, truly sorry that the 32auctions crash happened. We did what we could to prevent it but some things are beyond our control. I ask that you be patient with us about that. We are absolutely doing our best. (And these are not our servers!)

Bree says: we also have some very high value items where another will be offered to the runner-ups if they match the highest bid. Last year we pulled in $20k on that alone. This year we're MUCH more organized about it. 💗

All I know as Official Keeper of the Act Blue page is that I’m not exactly sure how close I will come to the seven figure mark.

The thing about one of these auctions is that we neeever quite know how much we are actually going to raise. I don’t mean because people won’t pay: some people don’t, but it’s a much smaller percentage than you think. I mean because people round up. Some of them, a lot.

(also I might know what you are talking about and because I'm going to be doing this on vellum and can print twice, I will make that offer to you. 💗)

I have it on good authority that 32auctions crashing is the only reason a $6k bid didn't get entered. ...so the reasonable conclusion is that whoever put in that $5801 one might have paid off Curt from 32auctions. 👀 (kidding! lol)
