Sanctury Keepsake Campaign - Update

The SANCTUARY KEEPSAKE CAMPAIGN is going strong and even growing with new donations!  I'm overwhelmed by all the generosity -- from fans donating extra and offering their thank-you gifts to other fans in need, to colleagues providing additional items for the drive, it's been an awesome 24 hours.  Cinemaspy reported on us here and donations are over $1500 so far!

What is the Sanctuary Keepsake Campiagn?  In short, it's a chance to obtain small items from the set of Sanctuary, as thank-you gifts in return for donating to the Sanctuary 4 Kids charity.

A number of PENS AND PENCILS FROM MAGNUS' DESK and CURTAIN SWATCHES FROM MAGNUS' OFFICE remain available, as well as 3 WINE BOTTLES FROM MAGNUS' WINE CELLAR.

**Please see the original Sanctuary Keepsake Campaign post from yesterday for details. **

In addition, I've obtained a box of promotional items that were created for the original Sanctuary webseries back in 2007.  One of these Sanctuary logo memo pads will now be included with every pen or pencil from Magnus' desk.  Also, additional promo items (such as promo postcards and Helen Magnus' lenticular business card) will be included with all Thank-You items while supplies last.  

Below, are additional items that have been added to the campaign.  Since the campaign was inspired by the goal of making the keepsakes widely available, we've once again tried to include items for every budget level.  

*** Please read all the instructions at the bottom of the page if you wish to participate! You MUST make your requests via the special email address provided below. ***

And please spread the word wherever people may be interested.  Let's use the hashtag #sanctuarykeepsakecampaign and keep it going on Twitter!

SHARD OF AFINA'S TOMB - $45  minimum donation - 15 available

This amethyst-coloured "rubber glass" was created by the FX department for episode #316, "Awakening," to be used in the sequence where the Vampire Queen Afina breaks from her crystal tomb. Although the final on-screen tomb was a CGI creation, the purple rubber glass was crumbled and used on set as shattered pieces on the floor.

Each sculptural piece of "amethyst" retained from the discarded rubber glass is completely unique. Size is approximately 1 square inch. Each will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

"ADJUSTER" HAT -  $65 minimum donation - Donated by Martin Wood  - 2 Available

These props appeared onscreen in the 3rd season episode Hero 2: Electric Boogaloo.

SANCTUARY LOGO CREW CAP -  BEST OFFER - ONE ONLY

This item is being SILENT AUCTIONED -- to participate, mail your maximum bid to athena.tv (at) gmail.com by MIDNIGHT (PST) on Sunday, September 23rd.  The highest bidder will be informed by email on Monday morning and will have 48 hours to complete their donation to Sanctuary 4 Kids.

Wii CONTROLLER LOADED WITH "SANCTAURY" Miis - $90 minimum donation - 2 Available

These "Mii" versions of the Sanctuary characters were created in February of 2011 and populate my home machine.

My and my virtual family.
(I'm the yellow one. The one in pink is my friend Melody.
You should recognize the rest....)

They have been transferred to a newly-purchased Nyko brand remote for the Wii. To transfer them to your own Wii, just sync the remote to your Wii, go to the Mii Plaza, and select "Transfer." Then choose the new remote and you will be able to drag and drop the characters into your own Mii Plaza, where they will interact with your own family and friends, join your muster, and even play Tennis with or against you. Look out for Tesla, though -- he cheats.
