Hosted in the Session Yard at Alveus, with Connor and Alex from the Alveus team as the auctioneers, the Art Auction 2023 was a huge success. Livestream viewers were able to bid on paintings created by the ambassadors at Alveus via chat, with 33 paintings being sold this year. For viewers who were unable to win a painting, they had the option to donate $25 or more to get a signed postcard for the event, and 261 wonderful donors claimed one.
The event raised $63,019 for Alveus Sanctuary over the course of the 3.5-hour long event, with $31,500 of that from an incredibly generous donation by Rotary at the end of the event. Georgie was our most successful ambassador artist this year, with his four paintings raising $4,225 in donations, with the top one selling for $2.1k. Thank you to everyone that watched and supported this event!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, we hosted a short livestream fundraiser. Viewers were able to donate $25 or more to get a signed postcard for the event, and the chance to win a ambassador plushie hand-crafted by Maya. We were able to raise $40,076 for Alveus over the 3-hour long event, with 596 donors claiming a postcard.
Each donation of $25 or more would also include some 3D-printed dabloons ($25 per dabloon), which also represented an entry into the plushie giveaway (one free entry was available for anyone unable to donate). The top 5 donors during the event were able to pick which plushie they would like, and the remaining 19 plushies were distributed based on random golden dabloons amongst the 1,600 dabloons sent out to donors. Thank you to everyone that watched and supported this event!

The halloween event at Alveus was a massive success, with 34 creators from across the streaming space descending on the sanctuary to help raise money for the animals. During the event, anyone that donated $250 or more had their name written on the side wall of the Nutrition House, with the wall being sealed after the event. Over the evening, 5 hours of live content, we were able to raise $101,971 for Alveus Sanctuary, with 1,235 donors claiming a name on the wall.
Two teams were formed from the creators, and they competed in many activities around the property throughout the event. A game of apple bobbing started the evening off, followed by hale bale throwing to see which team had better technique. A little while later we had a game of badminton on the grass, followed by trivia and then the dunk tank. We rounded off the evening with some mud wrestling. Thank you to all the creators that joined us, and everyone who watched and donated!

The event that started it all! A 20-hour long mega-stream with a whole bunch of donation goals along the way, aiming to raise as much money as possible to kick-start Alveus. Each donor that donated $100 or more got their name engraved on a golden leaf that form part of six donor trees now affixed to the back of the studio building. The final goal for the stream was that at $500k raised Maya would shave her head, and we were able to reach that goal with $573,004 raised for Alveus over the whole stream. Thank you to all the leafers, everyone that donated and everyone that watched!
