We want to thank long-time sponsor Fangamer for their continued support. For the past 14 years Fangamer has made the official Desert Bus Shirt and they’ve outdone themselves with this year's creation. Founded in 2008, Fangamer was made with one goal, to celebrate their favorite games with merchandise they would want to own. Over the past 17 years they’ve partnered with the likes of Double Fine, Toby Fox (of Undertale), and obviously Desert Bus for Hope.
Thank you Fangamer. You can find the official Desert Bus Shirt here.

Hello and good morning from Desert Bus! We had a wonderful day today, but it truly started out strong...
...Because it wasn't long into our first Dawn Guard we managed to hit $12 million lifetime raised for Child's Play Charity!!
We had a fun game of coffee pong...
Keanu kept trying to interrupt us, but thanks to the effort of Liz and Carrie we finally scared him off!
And Liz gave Garfield some pets.
And we got to say hello to Croch-Kate!
We had an all-cameras dance party!
And shared some wonderful GOOD NEWS from around BC!
Speaking of GOOD NEWS!! Each morning we at Dawn Guard will be delivering some Dawn Good News, and we need your help! James submitted day one, but we need day two stories!
So if you've got some local good news you'd like to share with us, send them along to dbfh.org/goodnews
(AND on Sunday morning we'll open an art challenge to produce a logo, so keep an eye for that!!)
Until tomorrow, we are so glad you were here with us, and thank you for keeping us going all morning long. See you tomorrow!!
It's 10am local time so you know what that means! It's time for new silent auctions to begin!
First up we've got a hand sewn plush doll of Frieren! Approximately 10cm tall and made from felt and toy grade stuffing. She is delicate and for display purposes only. To clean gently remove stains with a damp cloth. From a smoke free home with two lovely cats who may have also contributed to her construction.
Second we have a Hear Feel Think Vibe Wall Hanging! Inspired by a Final Fantasy 14 fan comic, I thought it would be fun to create a Hear Feel Think wall hanging that invoked those Instagram Vibes with using cosy FF14 meme visuals.
Both of these will end at 6pm PST so keep an eye on them!
Donation totals go BRRRR. And you know how you can see numbers going BRRR year after year? Pubnub!
Pubnub hosts real-time APIs that we use to keep donation totals on screen for you to watch like a hawk, display silent auction bids, and more throughout the run, and we’re so glad to have them back as a sponsor. Without Pubnub, all we’d be able to say is that we’ve raised at least $1, and even that would be a guess.
Pubnub is trusted by thousands of companies world-wide, and this baffling charity drive! Thank you Pubnub!
Hey Chat? Chat... Y'all. How? Well, I guess that answer is one donation at a time, huh? We just hit a fully ridiculous milestone- $12,000,000 raised for Child's Play Charity lifetime. What began as a few friends playing the world's worst video game for a couple of days brought us here. It's astounding, it's humbling, and we couldn't be more proud of all of you. We keep the bus on the road, but you make the numbers go BRRRRR.
Thank you. On behalf of all of us here at Desert Bus For Hope THANK YOU.
