Happy Halloween, everyone! As a guest in the The Haunted Clubhouse, I encourage all of you to treat a charity organization this October. I have some suggestions below; however, choosing a charity of your choice is also acceptable. Let's raise some money for good causes!


:spooky: :spooky: :spooky:

:siren: This giveaway has closed. Thank you all for participating! Enjoy your platinum icons or new account features! :siren:


So, this is what you need to do:

For your $13+ dollar donation, you have access to one of three very special platinum icons: a bat, a pumpkin, or a ghost. If you don't want a plat icon, there are other options below in the FAQ.

Please reply to this thread with 1) proof of your donation and 2) which icon you would like. Remember to remove any personal or identifying information from your screenshot. You may also PM or email me the proof if you are uncomfortable posting in this thread.



:spooky: :spooky: :spooky:


Now, for some "halloween-themed" 501(c)(3) charity suggestions:

Bat Conservation International - to conserve the world’s bats and their ecosystems to ensure a healthy planet.
https://www.batcon.org/

International Owl Center - making the world a better place for owls through education and research.
https://www.internationalowlcenter.org/

Tenth Life Cat Rescue - giving cats the lives they deserve.
https://www.tenthlifecats.org/
(or a local animal rescue charity of your choice)

Save Our Cemeteries - dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and protection of New Orleans’ historic cemeteries through restoration, education, and advocacy.
https://www.saveourcemeteries.org/
(or a local cemetery preservation charity of your choice)

A local Halloween costume charity. For example, SCARE in NH is collecting gently used Halloween costumes so everyone can have a chance for a fun night of trick or treating in style!


:spooky: :spooky: :spooky:


What do the platinum icon options look like? I am glad you asked!

Pumpkin:


Ghost:


Bat:



I don't want a platinum icon. Are there other options? Yes!
Instead of the platinum icon, you may also select a name change certificate, archives upgrade certificate, or a title change certificate ($5). Please just let me know in your post with donation screenshot or send me a PM.


Can I donate for someone else to get a platinum icon? Yes!
I understand that not everyone has the means to donate, or someone may want to gift a halloween-themed icon to a friend. You can either post this gift donation in the thread or send me a PM to work out the details.


:spooky: :spooky: :spooky:


Thank you all in advance for your generosity. Even if you cannot donate, it warms my heart to see so many people enjoying our special subforum this month and having fun together!

Hello! I donated $20 to Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando earlier today but the receipt has not come through yet. That wasn't for this thread, but know it was done and maybe give a Plat Icon to a goon in need to cheer them up or something?

This was for the thread:


Don't worry, I used my real name but I edited the page HTML. The donation went through.

Both donations done in the name of Lulu, a YOSPOS cat who's having a bad day but going to get better. One bat icon please!

E: Also consider adding a cat icon? I would do it again for a cat icon.

I wish it was that easy. The icons I used here are open source/free license SVGs, and I did try to find a good looking cat one (as a crazy cat lady myself...). Most of them look pretty bad and lose too much detail when scaled down to plat icon size. I will keep my eyes out for one and maybe we can do another donation drive in the future!

I am caught up on the icons now! I hope everyone enjoys them!

The image below says "Thank you so much for your donation!" with a little extra info about how this money is helping, and how the donation is divided in-house. I donated to Red Cross for work in Gaza, since things are bad there atm.

with current exchange rates, 300 NOK is about $27,44 american dollars.
