We are smack dab in the middle of our three-day Half Milli Holdout, where are goal is to raise $500,000 for #zeroLRA. All of our shenanigans can be viewed LIVE at www.livestream.com/invisiblechildren. For full details about the Half Milli Holdout, the prizes you could win, and all the ways we’re entertaining you (and ourselves) can be found on this blog. But just in case you want the cliff notes version of why you should do nothing but hang out with us until Friday at midnight, we’re breakin’ it down:
1) Matching campaigns
We launched the Holdout with a $30,000 matching campaign and we will have MORE surprise matching campaigns that will be announced only on livestream. For all you #zeroLRA fundraisers, this is the prime time to get your money matched on your page, bringing you closer to fundraising perks AND getting you more chances to win free stuff in our Wind Tunnel of Prizes (it’s a real thing). And when I say “stuff,” I mean a free trip to Uganda, a ticket to 2014 Fourth Estate Summit, Mend bags, IC shirts, and more.
Every couple of hours, we are raffling off huge prizes. For every $25 you donate, a slip of paper with YOUR name on it goes into the vessel of victory.
2) Kris Jenner therMOMeter
We are tracking our progress to $500,000 with perhaps the greatest form of measurement ever created in the history of mankind (or momkind): Kris Jenner’s face.
3) Singalongs
Our own Hailey Mitsui-Davis is taking requests, singing songs, and stealing hearts for donations. Donate to her #zeroLRA fundraising page, then post your song request on livestream comments, and voilà, Hailey and her baby angel voice will serenade you with any song that your little heart desires.
4) Carl puked on Noelle’s head
Okay, he didn’t actually puke on her, but he did dump a Thanksgiving milkshake (you know, chicken + pumpkin filling + cranberry sauce + green beans blended together in a vomit-inducing concoction) on her head, and it looked nasty, smelled worse, and made us all reevaluate our desire to eat Thanksgiving dinner this year. We are going to be doing more vom-worthy activities like Egg Roulette (throwing raw eggs at people’s faces), the Gallon Challenge, Nickelodeon-esque slime sludges, and more.
5) The Dunk Tank
At 5 PM PST, the Dunk Tank will be open for business. For #zeroLRA donations, you can have whoever you want from our staff dunked into the tank — for a price, of course. This is your big opportunity to make Alex Naser-Hall really, really mad.
Other things you should know:
+ At 1 PM PST, we’re throwing eggs at each other.
+ At 3:30 PM PST, we’re having Brain Time with Ben Keesey
+ At 5 PM PST, Dunk Tank festivities commence.
