As the #Iditarod red lantern was extinguished early this morning, so to has the 2024 #igivearod campaign come to a close. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $30,398 with $15,607 of that raised for rural schools around Alaska. And beautiful hats knitted! You ROCK! #uglydogs

We'll have a post-campaign wrapup on our website in the coming days. Thank you to all who boosted the campaign and helped spread the word. We appreciate you more than we can say.

If you have any last minute donations to share, please add them to the sheet, use the mobile form, or private message them to us! We will make sure everything is counted.

Congrats to Jeff Reid for bringing in the Red Lantern #Iditarod! The Widow’s Lamp had been extinguished, signaling all mushers are now safely off the trail. We will work on final tallies and a wrap up summary for this year’s #IGiveARod. Thanks all who donated, shared, supported.

Funded already! :) knitting supplies for kids in Golovin! #IGiveARod #Iknitarod #iditarod

@mrlent @Frozenwheelz Thank you to @tonichelleak for catching the error (Kristy typed instead of Anna). When I deleted the incorrect post, it deleted your tweet.

Correction: Special shoutout to those who donated to the August Fund in memory of #UglyDogs @mrlent Musher Anna Berington carried some of Dan's ashes to Nome for his soulmate and wife @Frozenwheelz A fitting tribute to his memory!

$igivearod will continue until Red Lantern Joshua Robbins crosses under the burled arch in Nome. Our website with info is here and includes a link to the tracker spreadsheet. You can also see our pinned tweet for information on selected charities. https://t.co/qHxJpImAkF

spread the word, knitted beautiful hats, paid for pizzas, sent mushergrams, read mushergrams for those who couldn't, or volunteered in their community, or found creative ways to give back. Thank you for keeping this awesome tradition going for the past 5 years.

Happy Friday #UglyDogs The #Iditarod is almost over and with the passing of the Red Lantern so will the @igiveard come to an end for 2024. We are sitting at a whopping $23,313, which includes $13,196 raised for rural Alaskan schools. Thank you to everyone who has donated,,,

It's been intense watching the Iditarod this year, so much drama. Super exciting cheering on all the women who have rocked the trail. I finished my @igivearod donations this morning, but another of my @DonorsChoose is expiring soon. https://t.co/wAMy781VLt

Less than 24 hours for all the mushers into Nome!

As we’re awaiting the safe arrival of Anna Berington into Nome, carrying the ashes of @mrlent down the trail, you all have raised over $1,000 in Daniel Lent’s honor for the August Foundation to support veterinary care and homes for retiring sled dogs

Woohoo!! @RICSAR401 teammate @xperiement made SEVEN hats for @igivearod! Every one of these beautiful knit hats will go to a child in rural/remote Alaska and surrounding communities. How freaking cool is that? 👏🏻👏🏻

#iknitarod 2024: Dallas Seavey completed the 975 mile Iditarod route in 9d 2h 16m 8s to win. During that time, I completed six hats for ⁦@SkikuAk⁩ as part of ⁦@igivearod⁩. I’m hoping to finish one more before the red lantern. #knit #knitting #handmade

Congratulations to Dallas Seavey on an historic sixth Iditarod win! #Iditarod52

We keep going until all the mushers are safely into Nome and the red lantern has been extinguished!

As we’re anxiously awaiting the front runner into Nome, the current #IGiveARod totals stand at $14,122, including an amazing $8107 funding 17 @DonorsChoose projects to support snacks, warm clothes, teaching supplies, and other needs for schools in rural Alaska!
