***update*** - After the final bank and coin counting results - I am even more happy to correct the previous result:
We broke the 21k! The final amount sent to Stiftung Fledermaus was 21.081 EUR!!! :D
(16.370 EUR in bills, 4.711 EUR in coins)
On behalf of the Eurofurence Charity team, I am most happy to announce the final result for our EF20 Charity "Stiftung FLEDERMAUS"! :)
Thank you to every single one of you for your big generosity and donations! You proved once again that Furries are an outstanding crowd of charitable, caring people, and that we can make a big difference in this world! :) If you're looking up to the sky at night and see a bat - remember that this little creature might be alive because of your help! So thank you from all our heart!

Thank you all so much for your efforts (especially the hard-working Charity team), every single donor (both money and items/art), the artists/musicians/technicians of the charity concert, additional donations from the Pawpet Show soundtrack sales, participants and hosts of the charity poker tournament, the charity fursuiters, everybody involved in creating and hosting charity related events, the lovely lottery booth, the decoration and adorable artwork, the Art Show and Charity Auction handling, and every single one who contributed to our amazing result in any possible way! (I am afraid I'll miss anybody if I start listing names - thank you all so much, you know who you are!)
Thank you KhakiDoggy for the awesome photo used for the announcement photo! All credits given. :)

WEEEEEE go us!!!!
Thank you to everyone who donated! You should all be proud of yourselves, you helped save disappearing species!
Thank you to the entire charity team, you have all worked so hard and done so well. It is amazing to see how creative and hard working you all are because you truly believe in the cause. I have the utmost respect and admiration for every single one of you.
And those feelings also goes for everyone who donated. You care about the world around you, you are doing something, you are making this world a better place. You should all be so proud of yourselves. Furries are amazing, they give selflessly and change the world for the better.
THANK YOU!!!

~10 Euros per attendee? That's an INCREDIBLE amount! Wow! :o
Congrats to everyone involved, especially Stiftung Fledermaus themselves. And thanks to everyone who donated!
-
Damn, thats a lot of Money! Awesome, now lets hope we make a difference!!

~10 Euros per attendee? That's an INCREDIBLE amount! Wow! :o
last year it was 14 per attendee
thats a bit of a drop actually
but then Oncle Kage wasnt in the charity booth getting paid to drink&draw, im pretty sure that makes all the difference :DDDD

I'm pretty sure that the steep hotel prices combined with the lack of alternatives within walking distance are the main contributing factor to that. I don't think many attendees had more budget than last year and id got eaten up somewhere other than charity. Considering that, it is quite an awesome result and nothing to be ashamed of!
Also, the lack of otter-noses might have caused some less money for charity :P
-
ah otter noses, that bring back memories :D
-
Congratulations, certainly not a bad number.
Though, as mentioned earlier, I suspect a distinctive lack of otter noses might have contributed to a slight decrease in overall donations.. :p
-
Now we Wanna see the uncle Kate ice bucket challenge as he promised xD
-
Wow, that means that after the last annoucement +4000 € have been additionally donated. Very nice ;)

he did it!!! I missed it xD

Awesome feat that the Charity team pulled off again this year and everyone who donated, makes me so proud to be in a fandom, that cares about the things happening beside them.
And about the otter noses, hehe yeah, would be cool to see them again next year - and as an ottersuiter I would love to help with the charity sale too with otterhugs :3
-
Because obvious reasons, I liked this year charity very much :)
I was very much hoping it to go over 20k, and it did! *yay*
*happy bat*
-
Really really nice.
BTW did that gentlemen from Stiftung FLEDERMAUS mention they where going to try and get 5 euros for every euro donated?
Could you keep us posted on that. If they pull that off. That will be quite the news :-3
-

yes he said it before the PPS in his little thank you speach
and I think we really rock ^^ so much for all the little bats
Batman can be proud of us ::)
-
so they want to get five times 20.000€ ?
from where? I don't get it. ???
-
When I remember right, it has to do with the government. For every Euro they get from us, they want to make the government give them 5 Euros.

Correct, that is what I have understood too.
But "don't count your chickens before they're hatched", that's what he said they wanted to do at that moment on stage.
So my question is; is that still going on?
And if negotiations have finished... Have they pulled it off?
*Claps paws in eager anticipation.*
-
Just WOW!!!
-
Congratulations. WOW! :D
Hope animals will benefit from it, especially after x5 by the government...
-
Congratulations!!!! *Make a curtsy for this awesome result* :) :) :) :)
-
Will "Stiftung Fledermaus" let us know if they worked out the multiplication deal? (just would be awesome if they managed it)
-
Here's already a reply from Martin (the nice charity guy who has been at the convention), I translated it. I will post more updates when I get them! :)
This is simply awesome! You guys are so amazing! We don't know how we / our little flying patients can ever thank you for it. You all really ROCK!!!
Thank you very much for the super fast money transfer. Btw. I loved the title from your forum "We can't stop donating ... this is bat country" - truly epic! :) Thank you all so much again for your support!!!
Of course we will let you know about the reaction about the amazing donation result soon, and (as already announced), we will discuss at our next board meeting (middle/end of September) how and where your money can be used best for the bats. We will keep you updated!
We have also updated our website and - of course - mentioned your support on the front page. :)

We have also published the announcement on Facebook (I hope that is OK with you):
https://de-de.facebook.com/pages/Fledermausschutz-Th%C3%BCringen/137554709641502
I will be at a workshop about finding day roosts for the lesser horseshoe bat in Thüringen and also tell about your fantastic support, and talk with curators and volunteers how to use they money best.
Best wishes and greetings from the whole Stiftung Fledermaus team to everyone! :)
