A starving polar bear
This campaign, The Melting of The Poles, aims at putting in the spotlight the issue of the reduction, each year, of the ice sheet covering the Artic ocean which jeopardises the survival of animal species such as polar bears.
It will also highlight how faster the Antartica has been melting in the recent years and what does that mean for all of us.
This campaign will bring you the facts about these issues as well as giving you concrete and immediate actions you can take to be part of the much needed collective effort to tackle them.
You will not be charged for the purchase of raffle tickets until the campaign ends
Provided that this campaign hits its target, a meeting with one representative of the organisation or charity will happen to handover the amount raised or a cheque will be sent. The recipient will then acknowledge reception via their favourite social media channel.
Should this campaign fails, by not reaching its minimum target, whatever amount you spent will not be charged. A confirmation email will be sent to you.

The facts
The Antarctic has registered a temperature of more than 20C (68F) for the first time on record - a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8C taken on Signy Island in January 1982.
Scientists estimate that if current forecasts are correct about the future extent of sea ice, then two-thirds of the polar bear population will become extinct by 2050.
A billion toothbrushes will be thrown away in the U.S. alone this year, most of them plastic. The majority will end up in landfills or in our oceans and destroy marine wildlife.
The Environmental Medium Toothbrush
Greenhouse gases emissions contributes to Global Warming. Globally, the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%).
Sponges may contain plastics, dyes, and synthetic disinfectants. Whether you're tossing it weekly or annually, use one made from natural and sustainable materials

If all the ice on Earth melt, the Netherlands will have long since surrendered to the sea, and most of Denmark will be gone too.
Almost every marine organism, from the tiniest plankton to whales and polar bears, is contaminated with man-made chemicals, such as pesticides and chemicals used in consumer products.

Terms & conditions
Use the form and pledge any amount you wish as little as £1.
After clicking on the PLEDGE NOW button, you will be taken to our PAYPAL checkout page where you can complete your pledge submission.
For transparency purposes, all pledgers are asked to allow their identity and the amount pledged to be published on the website along the time and date at the time of the submission.
But remember, the artwork will be given away to the most generous pledger!
Once you submit a pledge of say £20, this converts into 20 tokens. The more tokens you have, the more likely you are to be taking the featured artwork.
Whoever's got the most token by the time the campaign ends (see bottom of the form to find out the date), wins and take the featured artwork home.
It is not possible to increase your pledge once submitted but you can pledge again.
Any new pledge(s) will count towards your total number of tokens so if you pledge 20£ and then £50, you would then have 70 tokens in total. You must use the same details (Name and Email) for each pledge you make for them to add up.
Drawing United will collect the pledges via this website and will make a donation from the chosen charity website.
Donation receipt will be made public via the site and/or social media channels.
We will also, when possible, ask the chosen charity to acknowledge receipt of the donation via their preferred way of doing so.
If the target fails to be hit within the given timeframe, the featured artwork can be bought directly from the Drawing United site. Proceeds to go to the charity
As for your pledges or tokens, they can either be:
- used towards buying the featured artwork
- used as a credit to purchase anything from the Drawing United site such as our print collaborations coming for the Drawing United Collective. A large majority of the proceeds when buying such a print will be given to charity.
- transferred onto another campaign
In the event where two or several people are tied to win the artwork - ie they all pledged the same amount which is the highest across the board, whoever will have submitted his/her pledge first will take the prize.
The campaign needs to hit its target for this to be valid.
An A4 digital print of a 'surprise' artwork will also be won by the 2nd and 3rd highest pledger.
The same 'first pledged, win' rule applies as per the top prize.
