Two days out from Desert Bus, and we’re still wrapping up the remainder of the administration. Shipping, inventory, etc. are occupying most of our time, and we’re doing our best to get everything out the door ASAP. Some general housekeeping notes to take care of:

IF YOU WON A PRIZE OR AUCTION AND HAVE NOT SENT US YOUR SHIPPING INFORMATION, YOU NEED TO EMAIL PRIZE@DESERTBUS.ORG RIGHT NOW.

We can’t send a prize to somebody we don’t have an address for, so if you won something and haven’t sent us your address, it’s a pretty good sign that we need to talk to you.

If you have sent in your shipping info, we have your information so keep calm and carry on: there’s no reason to send more email.

IF YOU WON A PRIZE OR AUCTION, WE WILL GET YOUR THINGS TO YOU ASAP

Sadly, we cannot guarantee that anything will get where it needs to be before the holidays, but we’re doing the best we can to get everything out the door over the next few days. After that, it’s up the postal service. Depending on the circumstances, you may receive your items bundled or separately.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CLAIM YOUR DONATION ON YOUR TAXES:

If you live in the US, you can claim your donation to Child’s Play on your taxes. If you live elsewhere in the world, you are welcome to try, though your results may vary, as Child’s Play is a registered charity in the US. Use your PayPal receipt as proof of payment: Child’s Play’s tax identity number is 20-3584556. For more information, please email childsplaycharity@childsplaycharity.org.

IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR’S DESERT BUS FOR HOPE:

We would love to hear from you! The large, projected chat and the silent auctions are both are based on suggestions from our viewers, and have been hugely successful. We take your feedback seriously, so if you have a suggestion, please email it to suggestion@desertbus.org.

IF YOU MISS US AND WANT TO SEE MORE FROM US:

Thanks to all of you for watching and participating this year–have a great holiday, and we hope to see you next year!
