I won a charity raffle back in December and said that I would auction my winnings off, but unfortunately most of the prizes got lost in the mail.  So over the past couple months I've been adding to the lots below so that I can still hold the auction for one of my favorite charities/environmental projects.  I learned of "Deep Ecology Project/ Haven" from Kialara/Max a couple years ago.  His brother who created and runs the project, is an incredibly selfless person who deserves all the help he can get!  

What is it? ... "Bees pollinate 1/3 of our food supply and they are dying at alarming rates. Haven is a nationwide art installation intended to help reverse this trend. A network of one thousand specially designed beehives will replace diminishing habitat for wild honeybees, and enable the collection of valuable field data for researchers".

100% of winnings will go to Haven.

I would assume the Russian Choc. BTC packs are still safe to eat as they're only a year old...but eat at your own risk  :D  Also they are dark choc, the "fake" chocolate, as far as I'm concerned  :)

Ticked is not joking, and has graciously donated a couple items that I will be posting shortly.. that are pretty sweet!  (Also sending me more items to be auctioned & will be placed in a new lot in a day or two)

Also BTS (bigtimespaghetti) has graciously offered to start a new lot here, and he's got some cool stuff to put in it! Stay Tuned.

Thank you both times a million, I know Max's brother will be very grateful!!  (edit- and the bees!!)

I thought that I bought the pennies? Or I guess you own more than 1 penny

Or I thought that we had a deal for the pennies and I offered you Google wallet and you have not responded yet :p

All @ .01000001/ea

So cool! ChiBitCTy, this is extremely thoughtful of you. Thank you so much for supporting Haven. I love that Kialara/Bitcoin is helping to connect people like you to my brother's projects... amazing.

Haha nice congratz

Thanks :) I really wanted this lot.

Dang... I sniped an hour early then missed it! LOL Congrats everyone.

Well done ChiBitCTy and everyone :)

Congrats winners! A total of 0.11842BTC for the bees!!

Yeaaah :D I'm glad I got this lot #4. I'm going to add that Andreas banknote to the little altar I built for him.  ;D

Thanks for the auction ChiBitCTy :)
Nice amount you have raised for the bees. Congrats !

Thank you everyone so much, whether donating or bidding ..it was great team effort to try and do some good in the world and most of all thank you Jarrett!  I will be contacting winners tomorrow to get all your info.  Thanks again everyone..this kind of stuff gives me a lot of hope for the future :)

Thank you so much everybody!

The donation to Haven is most appreciated and perhaps most important to me is knowing that there are people out there who aren’t willing to give up working to make the world a better place. We can’t let humanity become overwhelmed or disinterested in addressing our biggest ecological challenges.

We are at a crucial juncture on many environmental fronts and I think we need to reimagine what our future can be and act with an inspired long term vision in mind. We shouldn’t merely settle for damage control but rather endeavor to support a flourishing planet.

Your generosity is very validating for me.

Best,

Jarrett Mellenbruch

Jarrett, we all should thank you for putting efforts toward something like this when most of the people are selfish

I would like to say a massive thank you to all who have supported Haven with this auction. I'm thinking of ways to return the favor following my next release.

I would like to say thank you again to everyone who donated from Ticked, BTS, Crypto_Collection, BTCPenny, to everyone who bid, won, or just participated in one way or another!  All items are packaged up and will be shipped out first thing tomorrow.  A donation has now been made to Haven thanks to everyone!

*1 More Auction To Go- Ticked donated a whole lot of stuff and I simply didn't have time to include it in the previous auction so we decided on having another. So look for that soon!

This is a wonderful thing you did here CC.
