Greetings An Tir!
12th Night approaches and with it our An Tir Peers Auction (formerly the Knights Auction).
Started in 2001, the Kingdom of An Tir, through this auction alone, has raised over $31,000 to donate to various Charities.
This year, by decree of Her Most Royal Majesty Helene, the charity shall be supporting people who are experiencing food insecurity, something which is affecting more persons than ever with pandemic-related hardships and job loss. As An Tir spans an international border, with roughly 2/3 in the US and 1/3 in Canada, Her Majesty has chosen the following 2 Food Bank charities, both of which have over 97% ratings in terms of fiscal responsibility and impact:
2/3 funds to Feeding America (https://www.feedingamerica.org/)
1/3 finds to Food Banks Canada (https://www.foodbankscanada.ca/)
We hope that you will consider a donation of your time and skills for a worthy cause and help us uphold this commendable tradition of giving from our great Kingdom.
All donations must be sponsored by a Peer. Royal Peers, Knights, Masters of Arms, Laurels, Pelicans, and Members of the Order of Defense are all encouraged to sponsor a populace member’s donation or to donate themselves.
