donate — The Empire

It took a village to raise a trilogy.
Thank you!

In July 2018 we launched A Name for A Name campaign. We began the search for 150 people to donate $100 each to honour one of the first 150 people to support The Empire. By February 2019 our campaign raised $15,100.

Thank you to everyone who donated and to Moose Knuckles Canada for supporting our campaign.

Below is a visual history of the community this project has grown around it.

Inspired by this project and want to add your name to our village? You can still donate below.
