With support from the Order of Defense in the East Kingdom, Dame Sophia The Orange of Atlantia is running a private fundraiser to help make it easier for women and gender minorities who wish to compete in the East Kingdom’s Spring Crown Tournament.

Support from this fundraiser will take the form of hand delivered gas gift cards.

If you have submitted your letter of intent for EK Spring Crown Tournament, been accepted into the tournament, and you would like to receive support, please send an email to Countess Meggie (East Kingdom) at marguerite.lachlainn AT gmail.com giving the SCA name under which you have submitted your letter of intent. Combatants are encouraged to accept support.

All monies raised will be distributed. The total amount of funds collected will be divided by the number of requests for support received by Countess Meggie. That number, minus any required processing fees, will determine the value of the gas cards.

This is a private fundraiser and is not an official SCA activity. If you would like to support this effort, please donate at the GoFundMe link above. Participation is more important than the amount of donation, so please donate a small amount to demonstrate your support of women and gender minorities fighting in Crown Tournament. The total number of people donating, number of combatants receiving support, and total funds raised will be publicly reported after the tournament.

If you have a cadet or a provost who meets the criteria and has submitted their letter of intent, please encourage them to drop Countess Meggie an email.
