Hello everybody! Last week, I kicked off this year’s ToughPigs Pride Month charity drive. If you missed that post, you can go back and read it! But here’s the quick and dirty:
- ToughPigs is raising money for three LGBTQ+ charities this year: The Trevor Project, True Colors United, and Advocates for Trans Equality.
- By donating to those charities and sending your receipt to [email protected], you can win some astonishingly cool prizes like a Bert and Ernie pride wreath, a Robin the Frog replica, six Muppet finger puppets, pride prints, and more.
- Just donate by 6/28 at 8:00 PM Eastern! Tell us what prizes you most want, and you might win them at that time!
- Donate $70 or more and you’ll also receive a BONUS “The Ballad of Rodeo Rosie” cassette tape.
- Plus: we’re selling pride merch on our TeePublic shop, with proceeds going to these charities.
- PLUS PLUS: We’re selling rainbow Kermit logo pins on our Etsy store, with proceeds going to these charities!
Of course, there’s more details and the whole list of prizes on the original post, which you can see here!
But guess what? There’s more!
1. EVEN MORE PRIZES!
We are so excited to announce that we’re adding two more prizes to the lineup. Firstly, and folks, I can’t believe I’m saying this: a signed Paul Williams poster. Our friend Eric Pahl designed this poster based on the Paul Williams episode of The Muppet Show, and he got it signed by the man himself. And now it could be yours if you donate!
Additionally, Luke Flowers, author and artist behind the recent Little Golden Book on Jim Henson, has offered a package of his books, also including his Labyrinth ABC book and The Muppet Christmas Carol storybook! You can get all his Muppet stuff at once… plus some extra art prints!!!!
If you’ve already donated and want to change your picks for prizes, just email [email protected] and let us know. If you haven’t donated yet, now is the time to! Donate and email us with the three prizes you most want, and you might win!
2. MUPPET FAN FAMILY FEUD LIVESTREAM!
On June 10 at 8:00 PM Eastern, friends of the site WeirdPuppetGirl and Muppetologee will be hosting a Family Feud livestream starring some of your favorite podcasters and artists from the Muppet fan community. The ToughPigs gang will be competing, alongside the boys from Kermitment and half of Muppeturgy. And if you’re watching the livestream and donate during it, you can win some bonus prizes: prints from ToughPigs legend Cam Garrity!
Whether or not you can attend the livestream, we need your help! In order for us all to play Family Feud, we need Muppet fans to take a survey! After all, we can’t guess the most popular answers to questions unless you folks tell us what those answers are!
So click here to take our survey! You do not have to be on Instagram to take it: you can write NONE when asked for your Instagram handle.
We’ve got some wild questions here, so you’re definitely going to want to let your voice be heard!
PLUS MORE SURPRISES…
We’ve got even more surprises in store this month, so stay tuned to ToughPigs.com! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! ToughPigs Pride Month is bound to please!
