ANNOUNCEMENT #1:
As you may or may not know--the Cheerleader won one of her appeals and the courts are now recalculating her fees. For the moment, Help The Cheerleader donations are on hold because we don't know what the final amount is going to be--it's entirely possible that after the adjustments, the amount owed will be covered by what has been raised so far.
So, as of a few weeks ago, our goal was likely attained, but several people remained on the commission list. I decided to complete the remaining commissions and simply ask the requesters to donate $20 per sketch to the charitable cause of their choice, strictly on the honor system.
It was important to me to honor all the requests, because without the requests, we never would have generated the attention which brought in donors who gave to the cause even though they couldn't get sketches. The chain of events was fragile, and with any missing component, it's possible that we wouldn't have been able to raise such a huge sum.
Thank you, once again, to every last person who donated (whether or not they were able to get a sketch), and to every person who helped spread the word!
ANNOUNCEMENT #2:
As of earlier this week, ALL COMMISSIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND DROPPED IN THE MAIL!
We initially had well over 150 commission requests, but may people never responded to our follow-up emails. By my final count, that's 108 finished commissions. This includes 88 commissions with donations going directly to Help The Cheerleader, and 20 commissions with donations going to the honor system (as outlined in Announcement #1, above).
I still have a couple weeks' worth of commissions to post, so please stay tuned! For now...
