When the Ad Will Run

We have the schedule from The HUB of when the Brony Thank You Ad is scheduled next week (all times EST):

This are updated times for the rest of the week 

Lee Tockar Joins our Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Thank You Fund is pleased as Berry Punch to announce that actor Lee Tockar (Snips, Steve Magnet, Mulia Mild on Ponies, along with many other roles) has agreed to join us in helping to guide the future operations of the organization.  Lee will be replacing Andrew Sheingold, a founding member of the board, who resigned last week.  We would like to thank Andrew for his work in getting the Fund off the ground. 

See the Ad and Win a Prime Poster at Canterlot Gardens

Hey everypony,   It's almost time for Season 3 to start (as far as we know, that is...)  That means that soon the Thank You Ad will be on the air.  We'll be showing it at closing ceremonies at Canterlot Gardens this week, then it will disappear until it airs live on the Hub sometime this fall.   While you're at CLG, stop by our table.  We'll be taking donations for the CalArts scholarship, selling the last of our awesome Pixelkitties exclusive posters, and raffling off one of the ultra-rare San Diego Comic Con posters that The HUB sent us.

A True Brony Story of Vancouver

So, I took the family to the Pacific NW (by way of Chicago and Montana) for vacation this year.  We saw some incredibly beautiful scenery:

(That's Mount Rainier, BTW...)  But, since we were in the North West, we thought we'd make a little pilgrimage to Vancouver:

We have a Poster Winner

Huzzah, the poster hath been decided!  Lucky brony Gary Littlejohn won with a $10 donation, and over $3,200 was raised in total towards our CalArts drawing.

How to Submit Music for the Thank You Ad

Now that we've gotten our final approvals from both The Hub and Hasbro for the Ad, it's time to get some backing music.  As promised, whomever we pick (or actually, whomever William Anderson picks) will get to work with the man himself to polish up their music for air.  Here's what you need to know and how to go about it:

First, grab the following files:

Charities, charities and charities...

As the brony herd grows, so does the money floating around inside it.  That means more money for vendors, more money for special projects, and more money that is given to charities.  Unfortunatelty, it also is blood in the water, and will inevitably attract sharks.

One place where that could be especially problematic is for charity causes.  Part of the problem is that the average person doesn't understand the various types of charities that exist, and the tax and legal implications that go along with them.  That's something I'd like to address briefly here today.

Meet Our Spokesponies!

We've made the final selections for the Friendship is Magic fans who will appear in the ad this fall.  They represent both a nice cross-section of the show following, and solid role-models for kids.  So, without further ado: 

The Poster is Done!

Pixelkitties did an amazing job.  The OCs on the stage are each representitive of one of the groups that makes the show so awesome. Lauren's OC represent the writers and creators, Sibsy's Wildfire stands for the storyboarders and animators, the VAs and singers have Tara's OC as their representitive, the composers by Daniel Ingram's OC, and Jayson's OC is there for all the production staff.We're running one last mini-fundraiser, before we send out the order.  Donate $30 or more before midnight (EST) on June 13th, and we'll send you a poster.Coder
