#igivearod began as bit of a Twitter phenomenon in 2019. Someone wanted to give to support schools along the trail, someone created a spreadsheet, then a couple of people stepped up to help organize the chaos of the donations. In the end over $110k was raised! www.adn.com/outdoors-adv...

We’ve also now surpassed $400,000 in total donations from all the years of #igivearod! The drive continues until the red lantern reaches Nome.

GM is currently matching donations for this project benefiting kids in unbelievably rural Alaska (Pop. 835!), so every little bit will have double the impact! (Thanks for highlighting it for us, @kdluvsdogs.bsky.social!) #uglydogs

Bracelet-making for #igivearod, hanging out with my dog, and refreshing trackers … it’s a whole vibe! (If IOU a DM back, you’ll hear from me by the end of the weekend if not sooner!!)

Identity is the org that made transitioning, even here in Alaska, not just possible, but doable for me.

I’ve barely started the colorwork section of my #iknitarod project and I’ve already fallen off the sled. Pattern and stitch count are off. I tried to fix it last night, but I think pulling back to the top of the cuff is probably faster at this point. #UglyDogs

As the Iditarod continues, so does the Igivarod!! We are already over $10,000 raised for Alaska school projects and other Alaskan organizations. Please take a look at the orgs and find one that calls to you and donate if you can. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

How to use The Spreadsheet: There’s tabs along the bottom (or top). One tab has links to the @donorschoose.bsky.social #igivearod2025 page and all the #igivearod organizations. You can click them to learn more or make a donation. Then be sure to track your donation on the ‘Donation Tracker’ tab.

Our #igivearod org for today is AWAIC: Abused Women’s Aid in Crisis. They provide safe shelter and support for survivors of domestic violence in the Anchorage area. In Alaska, 1 out of 2 women & 1 out of 4 men will experience intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or both in their lifetime.

My response to that speech last night is to 1) support the @mississippifreepress.org while they have a gift-matching available, 2) make an #igivearod donation to Mr. Franz, and 3) donate to @translifeline.bsky.social. As our friends in Brazil say so beautifully, "No one let go of anyone's hand." 🤝

#Uglydogs — if you DM me confirmation of an #Igivearod donation, I’ll mail you a mushing-themed friendship bracelet like the ones some of us made for the ceremonial start. I can do one per person and will go till I run out of beads or the 2025 @igivearod.bsky.social ends, whichever comes first.
