Cancer Awareness Charity Drive
brought to you by Chunkio (#5800)
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in conjunction with Chunkio's event choice, Aywas is hosting a charity donation drive to support cancer research, treatment and recognition, as well as the people it affects--both patients and families alike.
I would personally like to thank everyone ahead of time for any donations made during this event. I know how devastating this disease can be and the damage it can leave in its wake. My heart goes out to anyone who is fighting a battle against it and may all the strength in the world be by their side. It also goes out to their family members and loved ones who are left with its lasting effects. I hope this small contribution goes towards a brighter future for a cure to this horrible disease. -- Chunkio
Tell Your Story
We want to take a moment to invite you to share your story with us. <3 The thread will be permanently located in General Chat and we are eager to hear what you have to say, so, if you're willing, we'd love to hear from you.
Want to know how you can help this cause? Great! We have lots of ways for you to participate in this event, so let me tell you about them!
Direct Cancer Charity Donations
Tier 1 - Donate $10+ to a reputable cancer charity of your choice and receive a Cancer Drylis and Cancer Reve.
Tier 2 - Donate $20+ to a reputable cancer charity of your choice and receive a Cancer Suune.
Tier 3 - Donate $30+ to a reputable cancer charity of your choice and receive a Cancer Velox.
These tiers stack, so that means if you donate $30 or more to a cancer charity, you will receive not only the Velox, but the Suune, Drylis and Reve as well! All four pets are a "special" rarity, which means they cannot be obtained through the Phoenix Tree or Rogue Zaps; you must donate to receive them.
Custom Auctions for Charity
We are also putting the following five customs up for auction! All bids must be made in USD and the full amount of the highest bid must be donated to a cancer charity (winner's choice). Click on the pet you're interested in to be taken to its auction thread! The deadline to place a bid is Thursday October 20th at 11:59 PM Aywas time.
Breast Cancer Ribbon Collectable
To show our thanks for your support, everyone who donates any amount to a cancer charity will receive this item!
WHEN YOU MAKE A DONATION for the Cancer Drylis, Reve, Suune or Velox, or for the Breast Cancer Ribbon, PM ME (#17) PROOF OF DONATION to receive your item and pet(s)! Remember, the charity has to be a reputable cancer charity. If you have a question regarding the charity you'd like to donate to or want to pay with another currency, PM me and we'll talk.
But wait, we're not done yet!
More Customs!
In the spirit of support and giving, Chunkio has also requested that we open up a free custom thread!
You may submit a Metal/Bronze/Blue compatible custom (Ay or Ara) for either yourself OR a friend that somehow represents the theme of this event by using ribbons or embodying one of the emblems from a chart like this.
One per account. The thread will be open until Thursday October 20th at 11:59 PM Aywas time.
.. Okay, phew! I think that about does it.
We hope that the event touches you and look forward to the drive being a success so that we can make a difference together. Thanks for your support!

Oh, and you can donate to as many charities as you want, we just wouldn't cross-combine them. So, if you donate $10 to one charity and $20 to another, you'd get two Drylises, two Reves and one Suune, but no Velox. - Eri

I live in the UK, would cancer research UK be acceptable if I find some money? and would it be £10, £20 etc rather than $ or would I have to calculate conversion?

Eri, if we donate after the 20th, would we still be able to receive the pets?

This is an amazing event guys, thanks so much for this <3 My mother died recently, not of cancer, but she has lots of friends who have or have had it, so I know she'd support this. I'll definitely get on doing a custom for this event. I hope you all get lots of donations for those beautiful pets.

My mom said we may be able to donate when she gets paid.
Oh, and guys, the admins and the users donating, this is really awesome of you to do. None of you have to do this, you didn't have to organize this, and people don't have to donate, but you do. You do because you care, and that is an amazing quality and I wish everyone in the world had it. <3

@singingbadger: Yeah, I was a little concerned about that myself, but these were the images done in preparation for the event and given to me by Slash. I think they're just supposed to be October-y to take advantage of the seasonality to try and get the best bids, though. :3 - Eri
