So, everyone and their mum is running a ficathon nowadays, and I'm probably signed up to most of them. So what's the big hurry with starting something new?
Put simply, I want to run a fundraising event, and I think that the easiest way to do this would be to run it online, in the form of a ficathon or similar. The organisation I want to support is
CATW International, which campaigns against the trafficking of women and runs sustainable projects to remove the root causes of sexual exploitation.
Would there be interest out there for a ficathon-style fundraising thing, like
fanthevote or similar? The format of it would be people offering to write/design icons/draw artwork in return for an $X donation to CATW International, and deadlines etc could be negotiated between artist and recipient.
Thoughts? Would people be interested?
