Lottery items are OUT!

Peace!

Okay, now seriously: the last of the lottery prizes head out today. Not just domestic, either. Everything. The last domestic packages shipped on Monday afternoon, and in a couple hours, the last of the international packages will have left the building. That’s a total of 1,595 packages.

You have these ladies to thank for such a fast turnaround: Rachel, Mindy, and Trina are the BEST.

We’ve also had a ton of volunteers stopping by to help us pack everything, and this year’s record-setting turnaround is due in a large part to their hard work. Super mega thanks to Tracy, Katy, Nicole, Gavin, Beth, and Trevor for helping get everyone’s stuff in the mail faster than ever!

So what does all this mean? Well, it means folks have already started receiving their prizes (and posting photos of their swag on Facebook and Twitter!). We even started an album to keep everything in one place. It also means that our international winners might still have to wait up to eight weeks, so be nice. And finally, it means that we can clean up after the 2015 Annual Fundraiser and get started on the mid-season Geeks Doing Good fundraiser! We’ve already got plans brewing for next year (and this summer, of course), and we’ll keep you posted as things solidify.

Thank you everyone who donated this year and helped us blow all our previous fundraisers out of the water. We hope you had fun, we really hope you’ve got something cool in the mail, and if you didn’t win anything this time around, we hope you realize just how much your donations are changing lives around the world.

You guys are the best!
