Mints for Health 2021
Mental health support and destigmatization is a really important cause for me because even a conversation can do so much as a small step towards sharing and acceptance.
Special thanks to Zja for coming up with an inspiring event logo!
APRIL 2ND - APRIL 4TH
Support the cause here.
I really appreciate that IDONTMIND supports conversations about mental health by encouraging people to share what's on your mind. It's okay to talk about your feelings and share! I personally understand how hard it is to start those conversations especially with fear of ridicule and judgment but I've been lucky to meet amazing, accepting people who are willing to listen to my story and I hope to create a space for other to feel comfortable sharing as well. I highly encourage you, if you feel comfortable doing so, to share you #IDONTMIND stories on social media to get the conversation going.
Donations to IDONTMIND helps to expand the reach and resources of their campaign and bring hope to those who need it most. Their biggest resource right now is their IDONTMIND Journal, a collection of helpful and inspiring articles on mental health. From actionable tips for improving your mental health to personal stories, it’s a space for honest, open, and informative conversations. Since the IDONTMIND Journal was launched in 2019, they've written nearly 100 journal articles that are reaching over 125,000 people. Donations to IDONTMIND also helps to amplify Mental Health America's many amazing resources like their screening program. MHA's online screening tool is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.
Mental Health America is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization (EIN 13-1614906) and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Please retain your Tiltify receipt for your records.

CHARITY AUCTION
The blind charity auction will be live from 12PM PST (noon) on Friday April 2nd to 12PM PST (noon) on Sunday April 4th.
JOIN AUCTION HERE.
VIEW AUCTION LEADERBOARD HERE.
Bidding Process
Bidding will be handled with a Discord login verification and form which will ask for the following:
- Item to bid on.
- Your bid amount for the item selected, in USD currency.
Here's an example of what the bidding site will look like. Each item is separated into its own dropdown and will have its own bid entry textbox. When you press submit bid, your Discord username, ID, and e-mail will be recorded along with your bid.
Bidding Terms
- You MUST be in the Keycult server (click this for an invite) and have a phone verified account. Here's a troubleshooting doc in case you run into any issues: https://resources.keycult.com/raffle_troubleshooting.html. This means that you MUST have a Discord account.
- Submit one entry per item, per bid. Updated bids should be placed with another bid entry.
Auction Terms
- The auction will be a blind auction which means that the public will be able to see the highest bid, but not who the bidder is or the history of bids.
- Your name, Discord ID, e-mail and bidding history will be recorded and shared with my mod team and some members of the Keycult mod team (Koi and Obsidian).
- Shipping for the item will be covered at no additional cost to you and items can be shipped internationally. All packages will be shipped with tracked shipping method.
- To prevent auction sniping, if a "bidding war" happens at the end of the auction, there will be a 5 min grace period for each additional bid.
- We will be verifying the top bidders at the 24hr mark and again 6 hrs before the auction ends.
- You must make your donation of your highest bid amount within 24hrs of being notified of your winning bid. If you pass on your win or your donation isn't completed, your win will be passed to the next winner.
- Donations are to be made to the Tiltify campaign.
- Retain your records to supplement proof of donation.
- No funds will be handled by myself or anyone else involved in the event. All funds will go through the Tiltify campaign which then goes directly to MHA.
- If you need to retract your bid at any time, contact
mintsforhealthat gmail dot com.
We've gone with Tiltify because they're a trusted platform that handles charity fundraising and integrates smoothly with Twitch charity events.
