The East Coast Thing Children’s Fund is a fundraising endeavor that the incredibly generous Northeast Asatru community has embraced and supported for several years now. The goal is to help families afford to go to the ECT by covering the registration costs for their children, and helping to provide for children’s programming at the event. To say the program has been a success is an understatement - no child has had to pay for registration since the fund’s inception.
The way it works is simple – the community donates items that are raffled off or put up for bid at an auction. Items can be heathen books, jewelry or toys, bottles of mead, hand crafted items… anything of interest to the Northeast Asatru Community. Then the community purchases raffle tickets (for sale during all meals) for the smaller items or participate in an auction for the bigger ones. The Saturday night auction is not to be missed – we guarantee you’ll have some laughs!
So please consider donating something, buying some raffle tickets or bidding on an item or two. Remember… (all together now!)… “It’s for the children!!!!!!”
