 |

Hi everyone,
I’m running a charity fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders. Unsurprisingly, it’s called Swords Without Borders.
The basic gist: there’ll be a raffle with some really awesome prizes at the beginning of August. To gain entries (i.e. “tickets”), you donate. For every $10 USD, you gain an entry.
BONUS: if you donate at least $10, you can also do a sword-related video between July 1 (which is this upcoming Wednesday!) and July 31, and if you tag the fundraiser and follow the rules (see the link below), you gain 5 bonus entries. The video with the most likes by the end of July 31 gets an additional 5 entries!
There are 14 prizes donated by some awesome, really generous sponsors:
-SPES USA - Cadet HEMA sparring jacket
-Handmade Revolution - Medieval Belt
-Freelance Academy Press - Burgundian Poleaxe (book)
-Freelance Academy Press - Flowers of Battle vol 1 (book)
-Freelance Academy Press - Flowers of Battle vol 3 (book)
-Jesse Belsky Stageswords - HEMA Sidesword
-Davis Reproductions - $300 USD Gift Certificate
-Davis Reproductions - Bauernwehr (knife) w/ tooled [amazing] leather sheath and by-knife
-TherionArms - Cold Steel MAA Halberd modified to be much more historical
-Storms Rising Leather - dagger belt rig with Cold Steel training dagger
-Arms & Armor - $250 USD gift certificate
-Arms & Armor - Sgian Dubh
-Purpleheart Armory - Shashka Cossack Trainer Kit (2 synthetic swords & 2 books)
-Me - a historical-styled leather tooled case for a book
The main page with rules and the place to donate is here:

The video submissions officially start today, and go through the month!
There isn’t much to watch yet (since it’s the first day), but we’ve already raised over $850!!!!
If you aren’t participating (and I hope you do!), you can still watch the submissions. Remember that the one with the most likes by the end of the month gets bonus raffle entries, so please click the like button for your favorites! Here’s the playlist (to be updated often): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIo3LXFy2OOnt4zALlqN3sbzOfIJTUA1q
