Last year I started with a goal of A$2,000. This goal was smashed within the first two days, and at the conclusion of the fundraiser a total of A$20,202 had been achieved ($15,060 USD). This was an incredible effort and I am still so endlessly grateful for everyone who was involved last year. Last year's milestones brought us some memorable moments including playing AoE with my toes (yikes), singing Chop Suey, a dramatic ASMR build-order reading, and more. This year there are even more cursed challenges and silly shenanigans to enjoy together if the milestone goals are reached as we push towards the goal of A$5,000*. These are as follows:
Amount.......Reward
A$1000.......Release a new AoE Parody Song
A$2000.......Cursed Green Screen Stream
A$2500.......Giveaway Vinchester Coaching
A$3000.......Cut my hair!!**
A$3500.......Transform into ultra-Aussie LT
A$4000.......Rowing Coaching Stream
A$4500.......Learn a TikTok dance
A$5000.......Bulgarian Konnik Cosplay
Along with the above milestones, a few hidden stretch goals have been set just in case the fundraising goals are exceeded. The top stretch goal will be, for A$50,000 (surely impossible 11), I'll shave my head!!
* while this may seem to be a modest goal considering what we achieved last year, last year's incredible generosity is not something I now expect from the community. I have been ambitious with my planning of the fundraiser, but I don't want to put any pressure on the community to match what we did last year, especially not while many of us are still very much impacted by the pandemic. I would love for the initial goal of A$5k to be boosted higher if we can, but at the end of the day - any amount raised will be a win!
** I'll cut half of it off. Sadly I cannot also donate my hair as it has been bleached, dyed, and isn't long enough to be accepted by charity.

I'm really looking forward to jumping into this fundraiser and seeing what we can achieve together as a small but incredibly selfless and generous community. For anyone that was a part of the fundraiser last year, please feel free to share any thoughts or memories you have. I know a lot of people first came to my channel while I was fundraising for Starlight last year, and I love hearing about those moments that you found enjoyable during that time last August <3
Hope to see you there!!
