$140,000 Raised for Cancer Treatment at a ‘Web3 Castle Party’

TL; DR

• Trevor Jones – who just raised $140,000 to support free cancer treatment for those in need.

• A group of 30 digital artists came together to exhibit and auction NFTs, with all proceeds going to Maggie’s.

• Ol’ Trev didn’t just start a Web3 Castle Party and try to sell random NFTs. He used his community and the communities of thirty other artists to create an event that will ultimately help 4,000 people in need of cancer treatment.

• While NFT sales may have fallen and attendance at Web3 events has been difficult during the bear market, this just goes to show that when an event is done right, it can be wildly successful.

Full story

Who knew there was an annual ‘Web3 Castle Party’? And where was our invitation?

Well… I guess we can forgive the creator – Trevor Jones – who just raised $140,000 to support free cancer treatment for those in need.

Recently, a group of 30 digital artists came together to exhibit and auction NFTs, with all proceeds going to benefit Maggie’s.

The location for the exhibition was a Chateau de Vallery near Paris and fair to say it looked incredible!

But aren’t NFTs ‘dead’? What’s the moral of the story here?

Although trading volume for NFTs has declined significantly over the past year, they remain a great way to raise money for charities.

Trevor Jones is one of the top 10 most financially successful NFT artists in the world – and he has an amazing community of supporters to boot.

Ol’ Trev didn’t just start a Web3 Castle Party and try to sell random NFTs.

He used his community and the communities of thirty other artists to create an event that will ultimately help 4,000 people in need of cancer treatment.

So even though NFT sales are down and attendance at Web3 events has been difficult during the bear market, this just goes to show that when an event is done right, it can be wildly successful.

Anyway, next time you’ll send us an invite, Trev?
