Gaza Direct Aid Fund
Progetto A.M.A.L. ODV is an Italian Third Sector organisation registered in the RUNTS. AMAL stands for Aid, Mobility, Learning and Liberty. It provides direct, transparent support to people affected by conflict, with a current focus on vulnerable families and young people in Gaza. There are two ways to contribute. First, colleagues can donate directly to Progetto AMAL. These donations can help fund structured initiatives such as scholarships, education pathways and emergency support. Second, colleagues can donate directly to one of the three personal campaigns below. If donating is not possible, sharing a campaign can still help it reach someone who can contribute.

Extra Life 2026 - Raising Money for the Children's Hospital of Colorado Fund
Since 2014 I have been raising money for the Children's Hospital of Colorado through an annual event known as Extra Life. Extra Life is an organization dedicated to raising money for children's hospitals around the nation through fundraising events. Over that time we have raised over $18,000, all of which have gone directly to the improvement of sick kids' lives. While everyone is encouraged to raise money anyway they want, the primary method most do is through a marathon livestream, where the participants play games! Whether it be video game, card games, table top games or others, people tune in to watch and even join in on the fun. These streams traditionally go for around 24 hours! I used to a 24 hour event every year, until I had a child, and now I can only do 16 or so! Which I will be doing live on Saturday, November 7th, starting at 7am MST and going until at least midnight (or maybe a little later depending on our momentum!). All the while we will having a rotating cast of interesting characters come by, we'll play games that even the audience can join in on, and most importantly, raise money! We will be streaming live form my Extra Life page here: https://www.extra-life.org/participants/Mark-Birdsall-Thomas. You can watch and even participate from there! We will have games that members of the audience can join in on! If you have anyone else in your life who would like to donate, you can send them that link. However, as Squarespace employees, we are all allowed $600 worth of matching donations! So, if you are reading this and would like to donate, I would recommend donating here to get that sweet matching donation! The $3000 goal here is to match the $3000 goal on my Extra Life portal with hopes we will reach that combined total across the two platforms! If you have any questions about this, or want to learn how you can join Extra Life on your own, reach out to me and I'd be happy to talk about it!
