With the combined totals from #Igivearod2019 ($114,034) and #KoBUCKS440 ($28,027), over the last month #UglyDogs and #MushingTwitter have raised $142,061 for schools and charitable organizations all across Alaska, from Ketchikan to Utqiagvik, from Tok to Nome!

During the Iditarod, #UglyDogs (fans of musher @BlairBraverman@twitter.com) and #MushingTwitter helped raise $110,000 for students across Alaska with #Igivearod2019.
Today, Blair's husband @QuinceMountain@twitter.com embarks on the #Kobuck440, and #KoBUCKS440 has been launched! http://bit.ly/KoBUCKS

I have been completely remiss in mentioning @oshanada@twitter.com in all of this. If not for her suggestion to kick off fundraising none of #Igivearod2019 would have happened! Sorry about that! #UglyDogs

All of which brings us to this: #Igivearod2019 is over, and what an incredible feat it was! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who participated! (3/3)

Victoria Hardwick has arrived in Nome and is the recipient of the Red Lantern Award. With that, #Iditarod2019 is over, and #Igivearod2019 comes to an end. #UglyDogs

I am beyond words for being able to express my gratitude for the outpouring of support from #uglydogs for my @DonorsChoose@twitter.com projects. You are all unbelievably generous and supportive. Thank you so very much for supporting public education. ❤️ #igavearod #gratitude #Alaska

Victoria Hardwick, the last musher on the #Iditarod trail, is 34 miles from Nome. When she arrives the Widow's Lamp will be extinguished and #Igivearod2019 will be over. It's not too late to make your donation to help Alaskan schools! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LdRCmpLJ-nwOjb2BoMwhJut-qsl6RqXc_VuF_a6f13I/edit#gid=0

The Widow's Lamp in Nome is still lit for just a little while longer, which means that #Igivearod2019 will keep on going! We're at $89,619 with 113 projects funded all across Alaska! You can still make your donation to the projects listed at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LdRCmpLJ-nwOjb2BoMwhJut-qsl6RqXc_VuF_a6f13I/edit#gid=0

That is now 100 projects funded for schools all across Alaska to the tune of $77,857! Simply incredible! #Igivearod2019 #UglyDogs #MushingTwitter

To everyone who donated to send the Tok kids on a week-long field trip to Peterson Bay...the project funded! Way to go! #Igivearod2019

Still true, though now over $60,000!

"You don't have to be an #uglydog to donate, & you don't have to donate to be an Ugly Dog." #Igivearod FAQs are now on The Sheet & on https://igivearod.com/. So far, #uglydogs and friends have helped raise nearly $30,000 for AK schools in just a few days. Join us! #igivearod2019

There's been a handy addition to the #Igivearod2019 Frequently Asked Questions that should be helpful for folks who have been wondering.

Hey #UglyDogs and #MushingTwitter! Look what you did. I hope you're proud of yourselves.
I truly hope you are, because you should be really, really proud! This is AMAZING 😊
The fundraising continues until the Red Lantern arrives in Nome! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LdRCmpLJ-nwOjb2BoMwhJut-qsl6RqXc_VuF_a6f13I/edit#gid=0 #Igivearod2019

The reality is that this is a short-term effort that is in its last few days. My preference is that we stay focused with the donations still coming in (and as the days go by they are fewer and fewer) to keep the most impact possible on Alaskan schools. #Igivearod2019 (2/2)

I stress I speak only for myself, but: I see other worthwhile charities being suggested for #Igivearod2019. Think of the donations being made right now as a garden hose: a direct stream has the most impact on small area, whereas a wide spray has small impact widely. (1/2)

We closing in on one heck of a milestone with #Igivearod2019! Thanks so much to the HUGE number of #UglyDogs and #MushingTwitter fans who have donated to get us this far! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LdRCmpLJ-nwOjb2BoMwhJut-qsl6RqXc_VuF_a6f13I/edit#gid=0

#Igivearod2019 reminder: DonorsChoose is great - they vet projects, provide the fundraising platform, and buy materials at discounted prices. BUT if a project doesn't reach goal, the teacher gets nothing and has to start over. Let's top up some projects! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LdRCmpLJ-nwOjb2BoMwhJut-qsl6RqXc_VuF_a6f13I/edit#gid=0
