Thank You Charity Supporters!

The 1st Annual Etsy Dallas Charity event Sit Down To Stand Up For Kids was a huge success! Many thanks is owed to all of our supporters out there who came to the event last night and made a difference for local children. I also want to thank our incredible Etsy Dallas Charity Squad members who tirelessly worked for months on making this come together. It truly took a team effort to make this night as special as it could be.

The event itself received a spectacular turnout. From the moment we opened the doors there was a steady stream of people and within about 30 minutes time we had a crowd. Conversations surrounding the artists interpretations were soon followed by opening bids. I found it personally rewarding to observe the artists interacting and talking with people about their concepts. It was fantastic to see the passion behind their work on full display.


The bidding war began to pick up pace as the night went on. As we neared the close I could hear concessions being made and deals being struck. In the end, I think everyone (well, almost everyone) got the chair they wanted. It was an auction after all.


I look forward to next year's event. Hope I see you there!
