What is this Charity Stream?

---

So I and a bunch of my artist friends got the idea to do a charity stream that will be lasting all day. The basic premise is to keep the stream going 24 hours, starting tomorrow morning 8AM EST, by cycling artists in and out on picarto.TV, which has a multistream feature! We already have a pretty good line up but we are still looking for more artists to fill up certain time slots! If you are an artist and would like to contribute to the charity stream, then please contact me through the note system on FA!

Here is the list of artists we already have on board with us:
Alpha- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/alp.....paiwolviesyxx/ 8AM- 12PM EST
Eyrich- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/eyrich/ 8AM- 2PM EST
ManlyShark- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/manlyshark 2PM- 12AM EST
BGN- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/bgn 3PM to 5PM EST
BadCoyote- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/badcoyote 6PM- 10PM EST
VenuShade- http://www.furaffinity.net/user/venushade/ 9PM- 11PM EST

Where is the money going?

---

The organization we will be donating to is Equality Florida Action, Inc. via their gofundme page. https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund They are an organization covered by Internal Revenue Code Section 501 © (4) which basically labels them a non-profit organization, which has existed since 2014. It is, in my opinion, a reputable organization that can be trusted to send the money where it says it will. The GoFundMe page reads that the money will be going to the families of the victims.

How will this charity work?

---

Each artist will be free to implement their own system for the charity. This means it could range from picking a random name from a list of donors and choosing one person, to doing a sketch for everyone who donates. I personally will be attempting the latter but you could probably see how that could quickly become overwhelming. We'll see how it works and will play it by ear.

Donations should all be sent to the Equality Florida GoFundMe page. If you could then let us know in the Picarto chat that you sent a donation of $x we will add your name to the list of people we will be including in our respective raffles or charity lists to have work done for them. (Whisper us if you're embarrassed or modest! Picarto chat can do that!)

We will also be keeping a tally of how much we raised to be broadcast at the end of the stream.

Rules

---

1: Donations may be made directly to the GoFundMe. Alternatively, for those who do not have credit cards or prefer to not use GoFundMe, both (8AM to 8PM) and (8PM to 8AM) will accept donations to their Paypal account, which will then be sent to the charity via the account holder's card. If donating through Paypal, please include your name and an "I'm Donating!" message on a note at the time you make the exchange. Please keep receipts of your transaction in order to be eligible for rewards from various artists throughout the event, and thank you for the time, love, and efforts that help make our community a true family!
2: No debating.
3: This is a charity event. Please don't use this event to plug your own work.
4: NSFW is allowed. It is understandable to feel that this is an ill advised decision. And we did not make this decision without considering banning NSFW. But we decided that regardless of how we feel, the amount of money being raised is the much more important factor. However due to the nature of this event, it is best if any NSFW pictures are not posted to social media. I'm certain you could understand the PR nightmare that that would cause. However we do highly encourage any SFW pictures to be shown to spread the word of this event and maximize the amount we raise for this charity.
