Why donate to this fundraiser?
- Because OAS inspires others to be better
- Because they are super supportive teachers that bring cheer and patience to their classes
- Because most US folders have not met or experienced their unique team aesthetic and fun approach to origami (more details below)
- Even if you're unable to attend PCOC, you can still enjoy some new diagrams and feel extra good about supporting others in your origami world community.
For you

Next year is the Year of the
Pig ;-) Let's get ready!
What's happening here?
We (Melissa Mohamed, Kathleen Sheridan, and Brian K. Webb) are huge fans (along with many many others) of the OAS (Origami Always Succeed!) Group , four paper-folding designers/enthusiasts, whose camaraderie and focus on origami is inspirational and fun.
Because OAS is SO COOL AND KIND, we want to do something crazy... We want to try and raise funds to sponsor them as special guests for the Pacific Coast OrigamiUSA Convention (PCOC), which will be held mid-September 2019 in Portland, Oregon, USA. It's a hefty goal but worth trying!
OAS, who?
They (Joel Garcia Moix, Marc Vigo, Enrique Martinez, and Oriol Esteve) are an amazingly talented group of origami designers who meet weekly, constantly challenging each other to improve their origami craft. Additionally, they are fun to hang out with and super kind and considerate in sharing with others.
OAS is quite unique in their mindset/approach to origami. In their own words, here's how they describe themselves:

We
definitely want to share *more about them with you! And
truly hope you have the wonderful opportunity of meeting them in-person.
*Links to their Facebook page and design work can be found further below in the FAQ section.
How will the money be used?
This is an all-or-nothing campaign. If we do not reach our goal by February 3, 2019, your pending contribution will be canceled. But, IF WE REACH OUR GOAL, thanks to you, here's an estimate breakdown of how the money will be allocated:
** If there are funds leftover after airline purchases, etc., OAS has requested that the extra go towards special guest funding for PCOC 2021.
OAS is providing origami perks for donations!
OAS was happily surprised to hear about our desire to raise funds to honor their talents and wonderful personalities. In return, to share their gratitude, they are providing some fun and very appealing donation Perks, listed to the right on this page (if on desktop) for the fundraiser.
And, as a reminder, here’s their free perk to you just for visiting our fundraiser page: Senglar /Boar by Marc Vigo (PDF)
Will you help?
Any amount will be super helpful. We have a short window of time (now until February 3, 2019) to run the fundraiser.
Also, consider helping us get the word out by sharing this page via Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram (here's a graphic), including the hashtag: #OAS4PCOC
Thank you!!
