Hi! Wasn’t Sure If You Guys Knew About This, But Some WGA Members Have Donated Items To Be Auctioned

Hi! Wasn’t sure if you guys knew about this, but some WGA members have donated items to be auctioned off with the proceeds donated to the Entertainment Community Fund.

Bidding on these items is a fantastic way for fans and fandoms to get involved and raise even more funds for the ECF, and can be done here: https://wgaragesale.ggo.bid/bidding/package-browse.

Could y’all add a link to the WGA Garage Sale to the list of links that fans can donate to? Or make a post that contains the full list of fandoms that have items that could be bid on?

There’s a lot of memorabilia that various fandoms might be interested in (things like a varsity jacket from Veronica Mars; the Seinfeld Finale script signed by all of the series regulars; picket signs made by Conan O Brien, Lisa Hanawalt, Loren Bouchard, and Seth McFarlane; a Teamsters jacket signed by Lindsay Dougherty; Colin Robinson’s energy vampire notebook from What We Do In The Shadows; a Conor Roy for President hat from Succession…) plus other intangible gifts like personalized videos, zoom commentary sessions, meet and greets, or even a speech written by co-head of the WGAw Negotiations Committee Chris Keyser!

A more general overview, with a video introduction behind the items given by the writers themselves, can be found here: https://www.wgaragesale.org/auction-items.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for this resource! Linking below to the auction page. Check it out if you're interested in owning some super cool fandom memorabilia or rewards like meet and greets, personalized prizes and... John August helps you write your script?? Wow, maybe I'll have to check that one out.

We've considered putting together a comprehensive list of donation possibilities in the future, but that can easily lead to overwhelm and there are also a lot of pages run by other people that collect that info. Right now the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are really emphasizing the Entertainment Community Fund, hence the auction, since that fund also applies to non-SAG-AFTRA/WGA people who are also affected by the strike.
