Pizzas, Puppies, and Wookies: Our Top 5 Project For Awesome Moments of 2019
Vote for the HPA to win P4A at bit.ly/votehpa2019
December on the internet means only one thing: it’s Project for Awesome, our time to come together and celebrate nonprofits across the globe that are making the world suck just a little bit less. P4A supporters make and share videos for the internet to vote on, and the organizations with the most votes receive a grant from the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck. As past P4A winners, those galleons have made a huge difference for the Harry Potter Alliance, and with your help we can win in 2019!
We love how P4A helps us reach new people, so this year we used the best delivery method we could think of: pizza.
While our pizza-phor (that’s a pizza metaphor) is pretty spectacular, there have been so many amazing HPA-loving videos that it makes us feel a little cheesy. Here are just some of our favorite moments:
5. The crossover episode we’ve all dreamed of, featuring former staffer and forever friend, Jackson Bird, and Katie Riley, of our friends at She’s the First.
4. Our awesome volunteer Tash reminding us of the HPA’s worldwide reach with a video all the way from AUSTRALIA.
3. This video of a truly adorable puppy who loves the HPA (and his human, our awesome Department of Campaigns and Communications Manager, Sara)!
2. This wookie singing beautifully in our honor.
1. And our number one moment: watching New York Dumbledore’s Army crash into alllll of the subway platforms searching for Platform 9 and 3/4…only to find that all the wizard activists are at a rally anyway!
Video are still coming in — we’re up to 13! — and you can vote for each one of them, every day during Project for Awesome (now through December 8 at noon eastern). Thank you to our video makers, voters, Prefects, and every wizard activist around the world. Happy Project for Awesome!
