My name is Valerie and I helped with ONCE last year and was working closely to plan this year's event and act as the volunteer coordinator. I now find myself with the time and resources left in the wake of ONCE to put together something nice.
Jason has had always understood that operating ONCE would come at a loss to him. Many close to him feel under the circumstances it would be better he didn't have to carry the financial weight of this cancelled event all by himself. He has already purchased many things leading up the event as well as the cancellation cost for all the tickets sold is not cheap. Lots of you have offered to help so I wanted to put together this small campaign to streamline the donating process.
