The reaction on stage was simply the best

Fafnir Kristensen:
while Im really happy we broke last year record and Im sure the people from Wildtierhilfe Fiel appreciate that, the last day when I was giving away my usual end of EF "goodbye chocolates", I heard a few people tell me "oh some charity stuff again?" which make me think maybe it may have been a little too much on the charity hunt for money in the main hall.
dont get me wrong, I really love the idea of giving money to the charity and I have given quite some myself
it's just that maybe trying to get even more next year may prove to be a bit counterproductive, just saying
I apologize if im stepping on feet here, thats not my intention.

FurbleFawks:
What lovely news, Well done to everyone involved! :)

@Fafnir: In general it should never come to a point when people are (truly) annoyed by something. But I don't think anybody was. Also, it very much depends on the charity how much money can be raised. This year I think we had an extraordinary great charity - and that very much showed. We love and appreciate the success and increase compared to last year, however we are very aware that this is no guarantee that it will always be that much (or even higher). So no worry. ;3

From what I experienced, all/most donations where very voluntarily. The little time I had a donation box (for bringing it up to the room), people litterally jumped all over me to drop money in it - which was simply awesome and made me very happy. Also the photo ops, concert tickets, posters, lottery tickets, the events, etc. - it sold out / filled up that quickly (I think we could have sold even more) - on people's very own choices. :)

It's always a challenge to find the right way between too much and not enough. There are cons where charity is almost not noticable (and it shows in the amount).
We did a really good thing here, this will save so many animal lives now and in the future. We can really be proud of that. I think we're on a good path. :)
