CGL 2018 Charity Auction Wrap-Up!
Cancer Gets Lost is incredibly grateful to everyone that very kindly participated in our 2018 online charity auction in July. Thanks to your absolutely amazing generosity, we raised over $50,000 for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network! The final amount donated to PanCAN was $55,000, all in honor of my mother-in-law. I remain forever grateful for that, as sadly she has since passed away.
Thank You!
A note of genuine thanks to the following friends of CGL, all of whom contributed time behind the scenes to help bring our 2018 online charity auction to life! From waiting in long lines at Cons to get multiple auction items signed, to creating graphics, to auction photography sessions and inventory assistance, CGL is supported by rock stars: Blythe J, Brittany D, David H, Fong S, Frances N, Josh G, Layhan B, Lauren S, Lisa C, Meg D, Rick O & Sarah G.
In addition, a shout-out of gratitude to CGL Co-Founder Jared Wong for terrific auction item autograph acquisitions!
And of course we must acknowledge the tremendously generous fans from across all fandoms that supported our online charity auction, and every single person that kindly donated items (a majority of our inventory)! We also appreciate every fan artist that donated art for our auction, and are grateful for the many contributions from Abby, Agathe C, Alisha D, Jessica Y, Kate T, Kira B, Kylie C & Sarah C!
And the cast/crew/creative teams from The 100, LOST and Wynonna Earp really went out of their way to contribute and sign items for CGL this year. Love and hugs! Throughout the two years it took us to build an auction of this magnitude, one person in particular went above and beyond for us: Eliza Taylor, an astoundingly kind soul and dear friend to Cancer Gets Lost! She is a spectacular human with a heart the size of Australia.
We feel lucky to have partnered with the lovely humans at PanCAN, who were all wonderful to work with on this charity auction benefiting their essential organization!
Our final note of thanks is dedicated to our spouses and families, because they inspire and motivate every aspect of Cancer Gets Lost. Their support is invaluable and appreciated more than they’ll ever know.
Thank you, all!
Jo (Co-Founder)
