Events
Every last Sunday of the month we hold the 'RMU Virtual Charity Benefit' for the Phygital Food Project in the metaverse! (And soon in the real world too!)
Countdown to the next event:
How it Works:
Community members donate items to be auctioned
At the event, we enjoy live virtual performances from musicians and other performance artists in the space
After the performances we hold our charity auction where 100% of all funds raised are used for operational expenses like food and supplies donations, outlined in our official budget.
Auction Format:
We present the current item up for bid and provide a starting bid in US dollar amounts.
Bidders in attendance will place their bids in one of 3 ways:
By raising your avatar's hand by pressing the 'B' key on your keyboard.
By opening your microphone and stating your bid amount in US dollars.
By placing your bid amount in US dollars as a message in the chat of the Virtual Auction House space.
The Auctioneer will confirm your bid by repeating it out loud and once there are little to no more bids for an item, a countdown will begin before the item is closed out and sold to the highest bidder.
The winner of the item will send in their donation of either crypto or US dollars to any of the available options on the donation page linked here: (click here)
Once the donation is received, the winner of the item will be connected with the person who donated the item to complete the transfer or ship it if the item is physical.
Our auctions are always a "Proximity Auction" unless clearly stated otherwise.
The winning bidder for each item will get the item they have won, however, the second place bidder who loses to the winning bidder for each item will ALSO have to pay the amount that they bid, with the intention of contributing to a larger collective donation to help people in need.
After the auction we take a group picture, enjoy the live virtual performances and have fun hanging out and networking with each other. Hope to see you there!
