An Emergency Response To Save Lives

Within two days of the devastating earthquakes hitting the Türkiye-Syria border on February 6, 2023, Okay Bears managed to raise $23,000 in donations, and helping UNHCR Australia provide life-saving aid such as thermal blankets and tents to those impacted by the disaster.

Through the auction of a 1-of-1 NFT and the public sale of a digital artwork, the tight-knit community of Okay Bears was able to show their support to the brave helmets on the ground with donations and an awareness campaign.

“Your art auction was organised so quickly and efficiently and we are grateful to your wonderful community of supporters who gave so generously. The funds you raised have helped UNHCR deliver life-saving aid such as thermal blankets, tents and kitchen sets to people who’ve lost everything.”
