SUCCESS! 

We've reached our goal of $9,780

Thank you so very much for making this crazy dream come true!

Have questions?  Please feel free to call 615.270.9270 or email me at oas.fundraiser@gmail.com

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 

Thank you so very much for taking a moment to visit our OAS for PCOC fundraiser page. To share our appreciation of your consideration, please enjoy this free diagram, provided by OAS:

*****  Senglar /Boar by Marc Vigo - PDF - Intermediate   *****
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: 

The Legend of OAS -   https://bit.ly/2MEQ2Fi

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!!

Donation Process (three options)

Here's a quick walk-through of the donation process so that you know what to expect:

1. Via this website

Below is a preview link of the payment page. I added a few arrows to show where FundRazr will ask for tips. Tips go directly to them and not us. We greatly appreciate their platform and hope you give them a tip but it is not necessary:

Click here to preview the payment page

2. Offline *promise* to send a check AFTER the fundraiser ends 

The more of these we receive, the less processing fees we'll have to pay.

If you'd like to skip all transaction/processing fees, we will also accept checks, which you can send AFTER the campaign ends successfully.

To ensure your promised amount is accounted for in advance:

Please call or text me, Melissa (615.270.9270), or email oas.fundraiser@gmail.com and provide the following details: Your name, phone number, the amount that you wish to donate, and the perk you would like to obtain.

I'll reach out to you after the fundraiser to provide information for sending in your donation.

3. Venmo

===========================

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What will OAS teach at the convention?

Still to be determined but we can definitely say there will be a group talk on their design aesthetic! To quote someone from one of their last aesthetic talks... "Everyone that was there says it was incredible."

When will we get our digital downloads? 

After the fundraiser ends (successfully), we will email you (1-3 months later) a Dropbox link to your digital download.

When and how will we get our models?

OAS will be folding flat models that will fit in envelopes to be mailed to you anywhere in the world. These will be sent out in the upcoming months.

When will we get our t-shirt and/or hoodie?

We'll email you for your preferred size and then OAS will ship to you within the upcoming month.

Could you share more info about OAS? 

Yes, of course. Enjoy...
