GalaCon Charity Auction: At this time, the people over at Bronies for Good want in-kind donations for their upcoming charity auction, and they need your help! With the extra donations, they plan to run GalaCon for another two hours of charity auction extravaganza for their beneficiary Animal Equality! This charity will continue to dedicate itself to the Seeds of Kindness fundraiser run by Bronies for Good, making this the fifth successive year the convention has supported them! A silent auction, followed by a quick sale on Saturday will allow people to bid on items they wish to own throughout most of the convention, then the live auction on Sunday will determine who will earn the most valuable items. Contributing to the Charity Auction To submit your item(s), you will need to go to the GalaCon charity auction page and then to “Charity Auction 2017 – Item Registration Form.” It is advised that you fill out the form for every item, even if you decide to bring it along to the convention with you rather than mailing it. Don’t worry, you will be notified if your donation meets the requirements before carrying it to the convention! If you have any questions or concerns, please email GalaCon at donations@galacon.eu. How the Auction will work There will be, in total, three auctions; the silent auction, the small charity auction held on Saturday and the big charity auction on Sunday before the closing ceremony. The silent auction will run from Saturday until Sunday at about 1 p.m. Items will be presented in the gallery, along with a number marked onto them. You can place your bids on the numbered bidding lists. Then, after the silent auction, some of the items will be given into the two live auctions according to the value of said items. All other items are sold to the highest bidder according to the bidding lists. (An announcement will be made on Sunday afternoon with additional details and instructions.) Both of the live auctions will run as such: Items are going to be presented on stage and will give you a chance to place a bid on said item by raising your hand. The item is then sold at the highest bid. Make sure to stay for the live auctions, even if the items at the gallery do not interest you, as there will be many more special and secret items that will not be showcased at the gallery nor in the catalogue! For detailed information, please read their charity auction rules and information regarding the silent auction, they will also provide information on registration and the overall process of the silent auction. If you have more questions, please contact donations@galacon.eu. About Bronies for Good The show has taught them that a pony’s compassion goes wide, ranging past country borders and races, and Fluttershy’s compassion for animals ranges just as such; from a bear to a squirrel, or even chicken. Bronies for Good implements this message into the real world, where they run fundraising campaigns and relying on comparative research, such as that of GiveWell and Animal Charity Evaluators to always find and support the best charities in the world. About Animal Equality When animals are abused or to suffer, Animal Equality is there to help them. The organisation has offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, and India, from which it conducts investigations to bring light to cases of animal abuse and to educate the public about them. Animal Charity Evaluators estimated that it saves multiple animals for every dollar donated and recommends it as one of the best animal charities in the world. View the full article

Bronies for Good Charity Album Release: Seeds of Kindness: A Change of Heart Each year, musicians, artists, and brony media organizers come together from all across the fandom to make sure Bronies for Good’s annual Seeds of Kindness drive kicks off with a bang. In just a few days, our seventh charity album drops. With 14 songs, over an hour of music, and genres spanning from orchestral, to folk, to several different subgenres of EDM, A Change of Heart is the culmination of months of work from talented, and diverse musicians, all united in their dedication to making the world a better place. After that, it’s up to you. The Seeds of Kindness fundraisers have been an enormous success, thanks to the altruism and generosity of you, the fandom. Come join us in celebration as we kick off another fundraising season with our release party for Seeds of Kindness: A Change of Heart! Stream and group chat enabled by Ponyville Live! On Saturday, February 11, at 4 p.m. EST (9 p.m. UTC), Ponyville Live will host an online fundraiser, complete with a stream of the album, and a public group chat with musicians. When you donate, you can download A Change of Heart, and all of Bronies for Good’s previous albums! You can already donate, and you’ll be able to download all past albums right away as well as A Change of Heart upon the start of the release party. The Theme A Change of Heart continues to promote the theme of last year’s album: global empathy. The concept of global empathy is oft misunderstood because it is a very dry term for a profoundly personal and emotional process. Humans are instinctively compassionate; upon witnessing the suffering of sentient beings, we are motivated with a desire to help alleviate said suffering. Regardless of race, background, or country, we care and seek to do our best to help those in need. However, everyone’s awareness has limitations. The modern world is fast-paced, and the suffering of others can all too often seem abstract, especially when it is very far away. It takes work to both remain aware, and to keep one’s heart from becoming jaded. A Change of Heart is all about overcoming those obstacles, as individuals, and as a people. The Charity It is important for any charitable enterprise to back a trustworthy and effective cause. Seeds of Kindness benefits the Against Malaria Foundation – an organization that saves thousands of lives by helping to improve health conditions in less-developed nations. GiveWell has rated it one of the best charities in the world. Over 200 million people contract malaria every year, and many who survive are locked in poverty due to expensive treatments. It is a permanent catastrophe. It is also easily preventable. The Against Malaria Foundation stands out because of its strong track record and commitment to efficiency, program monitoring, and transparency. As malaria-infected mosquitoes mostly bite at night, it can be prevented with cheap, long-lasting insecticidal nets. As little as $3 buys a net that will protect two people for two or three years and contribute to the permanent elimination of the disease. View the full article
