It's that time of year again when we hold our annual Maintaining The Tower Fundraiser. This is the one time, all year, where we ask you- the members of this fantastic community- to chip in what you can to keep us going strong. We've had a stellar year since last summer when we held our Fundraiser Against Humanity and now is the time to do it all again. I am excited to announce our 2016 fundraiser Pugs Vs. Kittens!
Why Donate? Whether you have donated before or if this is the first time that you are donating, it's good to know where your money goes. Our server, our RL events, our annual awards, the Robert Jordan Memorial Scholarship, these fantastic vBulliten boards- they're all funded by you. The membership. Anyone who still remembers our days on EZBoards can attest to how far we've come! Our growth and the advancements that have made this community so wonderful has always been funded 100% by our membership. We offer a fantastic service, a community of like-minded Wheel of Time fans who establish friendships, make connections, and even families through an absolutely free membership with TarValon.Net. We have never had advertisements on our boards and we have never charged a fee for any sort of premium service. It is our annual Maintaining the Tower fundraiser that keeps us not just alive, but indeed ad-free and thriving! Now is the time to think about what this service and community is really worth, and what you are able to contribute to keep it growing. Any amount helps and is invaluable to us! Plus, any donation above $5 USD will get you entered to win some really awesome prizes, read on! Based on our foreseeable needs we have set our annual Maintaining the Tower fundraising goal at $3,500 USD. This should be a very attainable goal and it is my belief that as a community we should be easily able to meet this goal and surpass it! Read on for more information on stretch goals and prizes for our fundraiser, running from now, July 28th to September 15th!
How Do I Donate?
Well, I'm glad you asked! Big or small, any donated amount is truly appreciated and here is the details on how you can donate!
There are two ways for you to donate: online via paypal or using the regular old mail by cheque or money order.
Remember with either option to include:
- Your Tower Name
- A note indicating that this cheque/donation is for the fundraiser!
To Paypal your donation to TarValon.Net please send fund to payable@tarvalon.net and remember to include in the notes section a little blurb saying who you are and what this is, i.e. A donation from Aryawnah for the Maintaining the Tower Fundraiser!
To mail your donation please make your cheque or money order payable to TarValon.Net, Inc. and mail to:
TarValon.Net, Inc.
C/O:Amanda Beckman
17365 Floral View Court
Cold Spring MN 56320
USA
Please remember to include a note with the same information requested above: a blurb that this is for the Fundraiser and who you are!
Why do we ask who you are? In addition to tracking our donors annually (as seen in our annual reports), there are also those nifty prizes that we hand out! If you wish to remain anonymous but still want to participate, just specify in your donation note, and we will happily hide your good deed!
Wait, if I'm not in the US, can I donate in another currency like last year? You betcha! We'll be tracking the totals just in US Dollars this year, to make things clean and simple, but if you're interested in donating in pounds, euros, whatever... please feel free! We'll appreciate your donation in any currency!
Prizes:
This year we will be giving away two I Embrace Saidar shirts from Taveren Tees, and a grand prize of A Memory of Light signed by Team Jordan!!
As for our theme this year, it is Pugs Vs. Kittens! Below are the sigs for your chosen teams! The rules: Please do now switch teams! Choose ONE of the sigs below, and stick with it for the whole fundraiser! We want to truly see who the winner is!!
Plus, there may be a small surprise at the end! :shifty
