We are Team+ and we are doing a fundraiser during PaizoCon to help support the Autistic Self Advocacy Network! We love what this organization does and want to support them by doing a fundraiser where every time you donate, you increase you enter into a lottery to draw keys.

We will draw names multiple times until all names who donated have been drawn or 800 keys have been selected. There are over 1200 game keys to be claimed for various games!

Happy gaming!

About This Project:

Hello! I'm a 17-year-old artist who is passionate about using my creativity to make a difference. During April (Autism Acceptance Month), I'm raising funds for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a vital nonprofit led by and for autistic individuals.

Our Sponsor:

This fundraiser is proudly organized by Philanthropy in Crafting (PIC). PIC is a nonprofit organization for creatives of all kinds, dedicated to serving the world through the creation of art. In February, we raised over $300 for charity in honor of Valentine’s Day, selling artisan eternal roses for the holiday. As the president of Philanthropy in Crafting, it is my mission to create accessible ways for creatives to do service.

What You'll Receive:

For a minimum donation of $20, you'll receive a beautifully illustrated, full-color zine (a small, independently produced magazine). This zine offers a unique perspective on autism, featuring:

How to Donate and Receive Your Zine:

Simply donate $20 or more through this GoFundMe campaign. Every dollar goes directly to the ASAN. After donating, fill out the Google form to finalize your order. Once your donation is confirmed, I'll send you a message confirming your order. A digital version of your "Art for Autism" zine will be sent to you. All zines will be sent starting April 23rd. Donors are free to give any amount above $20 to support the ASAN.

Why the ASAN?:

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) champions the rights of autistic people. Their mission is powerful: to ensure autistic individuals have equal access, rights and opportunities. The ASAN empowers the autistic community to shape their own future, embodying the principle, "Nothing About Us, Without Us!" Your donation directly supports their crucial work.

My name is Anton, and I am raising money for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN). Their mission is to seek to advance the principles of the disability rights movement with regard to autism. ASAN believes that the goal of autism advocacy should be a world in which autistic people enjoy equal access, rights, and opportunities.

Hey everyone! By now, you're probably well aware of my passion for both running and traveling to indulge in it, so I won't go into detail there. One of the biggest joys I find in running is the sense of community and the opportunity it provides to give back. That's why this year, I've decided to raise funds for the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network as I prepare to participate in the Copenhagen half marathon in September. When it came to selecting a charity to support, the decision was easy.

This cause holds significant meaning for me for two specific reasons. Firstly, my best friend Natalie, who achieved her PhD in Clinical Child Psychology at FIU, has dedicated many years of her career to researching and assisting children with autism, particularly at Weill Cornell's Center for Autism and the Developing Brain. Secondly, my cousin Rob and his wife Amber recently moved from Florida to New York, bringing their son Cam closer to us. Cam, who is my adorable cousin, has an incredible service dog named Rocket, and I want to ensure that they have equitable access to the resources they need as Cam grows up, despite any challenges they may have encountered thus far.

A beloved son, brother, and friend, Marc Rosen tragically passed away on Saturday, December 17 from heart-related complications at the young age of 34 years old. Marc was a third-year law student at Hofstra University, in pursuit of a career as a disability rights lawyer. Anyone who knew Marc understands what a special, kind-hearted, and genuine person he was. His passion to make a difference drove him. In particular, using his lived experience to make systemic changes and improve opportunities for the disabled and LGBTQ communities was so incredibly admirable. In his memory, our family would like donations made in Marc's honor to Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN). This is an organization that was important to Marc, as he has fundraised for them and partnered with them over the years.

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Kofalt (Zhu) and this fundraiser is just one of the five I am currently running. Finding a job after graduating from Penn State University in August 2024 has been incredibly difficult. I wanted to come up with an idea that could help me enhance my portfolio and increase my experience with data analysis. My boyfriend and I are big fans of Ryan Trahan and he is currently running his own fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Hospital. This inspired me to create a plan of my own. I chose five organizations that do amazing work and set a goal and a date to raise it by. Any amount is enough to help make a change.

Thank you for supporting me, my fundraisers, and the power of doing good!
