Comfort Doll Project Fundraising Results
Over the years we’ve had a lot of the bands/musicians help us out by adding our auction links to their Facebook and Twitter pages. Our auctions grew progressively grown larger, and after about the third or fourth auction, we started ‘buying’ things from the World Vision Gift Catalog instead of just sending a lump sum to our chosen charity.
Around 2012 we noticed that photos were not selling well, so switched gears and began to make wearable jewelry from used guitar and bass strings donated by bands and artists. These were auctioned for a few years, and are now sold outright on our social sites especially Twitter and Instagram.. in 2019 we decided to test the waters for photos again but instead of auctioning a single 8×10 glossy, we are selling multiple 5×7’s of the same image.. we missed seeing the artists with a comfort doll !!
We’ve raised over $18118.00 in 13 years to date, and worked with many amazing people all wanting to find a way to give back. Cheers to you all, you all have been incredibly generous.
