fandomforozWelcome to Fandom For Australia, an online fandom auction to help raise money for those affected by the Australian bushfires.
Since October 2019, at least 30 people have lost their lives (including volunteer firefighters), and more than 10.3 million hectares (or 25.5 million acres) of land has been burnt, which is significantly higher than the Amazon forest fires and the 2018 California fires. It is also estimated that one billion of Australia’s wildlife (including koalas, kangaroos, platypus, and cockatoos) have been affected by the fires. Additionally, the fires so far have destroyed 5,900 buildings (including approximately 2,683 homes) and many thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes.
Because of the catastrophic consequences these bushfires have wrought against Australian communities, the people, animals, and services providing support (as well as fire services battling fires) need money in order to provide assistance to those affected. And that’s where we come in.
How it works is simple. Fandom creators and labourers sign up to offer their skills for auction. The winning bidder then donates the specified amount to one of the charities on this list, and submits proof of their donation to us. Then the creator gets to work on their gift! In this way, we hope to provide a way for the fandom community to come together and use our creative talents to help support those in need.
Bidding is CLOSED.
Winning bidders have until 15 MAR 2020 to confirm their donations.
