I’m sorry, a few more showed up! I think you should be all set but double check.

The Red Lantern team has arrived in Nome & the Widow’s lamp is extinguished, signaling all mushers are safely off the trail! Congrats to all #Iditarod54 teams! This concludes #igivearod for this year. Thanks to everyone who shared, donated, matched, & otherwise contributed in the spirit of igivearod

The red lantern is 10 miles out, so you've got maybe 90 minutes before the matchy match runs out and not too much longer before the #igivearod formally closes for the year.

At this moment, there are only 6 open classrooms on the DonorsChoose page. Wouldn't it be great if we could fund these 6 before the Widow Lamp is extinguished? #UglyDogs

We’re at nearly 200 donations and $25,000 for #igivearod as the back of the pack heads for Nome! There’s still matches on going. Big thanks to Espy, Mac & Melissa for their contributions & the anonymous donors joining in. The IGiveARod continues until the red lantern crosses under the Burled Arch.

Thank you, @esp1371.bsky.social and @muppybean.bsky.social for your matches! You've both run great races! Unfortunately that means that I'm not quite sure how much match money your donations currently get, because I woke up to two anonymous people asking to become wheel dogs in this team.

The back of the #Iditarod54 pack is currently hunkered down at least overnight in White Mountain waiting out the weather. While they safely snooze, the triple match is still ongoing! #igivearod

#UglyDogs #IGiveARod The donation tracker says we are just under 20K -- can we push it over that before the current Red Lantern gets to WM? Or how about we push it over that mark just because this is what we do? Here's my doggo, whose run/rest schedule is about 15 min/6 hours.

#UglyDogs the back of the musher pack are going to stay in White Mountain until tomorrow morning, so we have two more days to donate! Triple match still happening, $154 for every donation, just add it to the spreadsheet or use the Google Form linked there so it gets counted. #Igivearod

As the teams continue to arrive in Nome, the #Igivearod also continues until the red lantern arrives. So far, nearly $18,000 has been raised for Alaskan schools and other worthy charities. Check out the spreadsheet and remember, the matchy match is ongoing! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Donating to this year’s #IGiveARod #IGiveARod26 while thinking about these words hits different. The community that Blair’s wonderful writing about her love of the outdoors and her dogs has helped to build has gone on to influence so much good and love being poured in to in communities in Alaska.

As always, if you cannot donate yourself right now, you know the drill. Look at other ways to give on the #Igivearod spreadsheet and DM me (here or in the Disco) what you have done. I will scritch this Pollox for each of you. Oh, and send $54 to AVRO.
Close-up portrait of Pollox wearing a bright orange safety vest, his black and white face absolutely covered in snow like he's just emerged from a winter snowbank. Snow clings to his fur, whiskers, ears, and even his nose, creating a frosted effect that makes him look like he's been thoroughly enjoying some serious snow diving. He gazes directly at the camera with intense eyes, completely unbothered by his snow-covered state. The look and the cape make him look like a slightly hairier and largly less intelligent Sherlock Holmes.

Current #Iditarod54 leader Jessie Holmes is out of White Mountain and incoming to Nome this evening! Just a reminder that #igivearod runs until the red lantern (the final musher) arrives safely into Nome. Let’s go Jessie and team!

As week 2 of the Iditarod rolls on, so does the #Igivearod. We are about 30 hours from the winner in Nome, but the giving continues until the red lantern arrives. So far, we have raised almost $10,000!! Plenty of good schools and charities can still use help though! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

As the #iditarod54 leaders make their way across the sea ice, the #igivearod is up to $9500, with almost $6000 of that going to 13 DC projects in 10 Alaska schools. There’s a project here to fund snacks for kids in Utqiagvik, the northernmost town in the US. www.donorschoose.org/project/happ...

Hey #Uglydogs, I thought I sent this yesterday, but apparently I was wrong, so let’s start again. I am unable to be the Donors Choose hype-man this year, but I still want to take part. After the leader mushes under the arch, I’ll randomly select 2 donors and send them a handmade gift. #igivearod

If you aren't keeping up with the Iditarod this year, here is a good reason to: Four mushers are Alaskan Native: Kevin Hansen, Inupiaq; Ryan Redington, Inupiaq; Kaiser, Yup’ik; and Jody Potts-Joseph. Another, Jesse Terry, Anishinabe, is Indigenous from Canada. #Uglydogs ictnews.org/news/iditaro...
