Upcoming Auction
What’s this all about?
The White Curl and Michael Sheen have partnered with Street Football Wales to raise the funds they’ll need to travel to Sacramento, USA for the Homeless World Cup this July. This will be our largest fundraiser to date and we need your help to get over the line!
We’ll be running an auction and shortly after we’ll have a merch store featuring a new Michael Sheen design on favorite products and some new ones! You’ll also be able to grab gear to represent Team Wales from wherever you are in the world.
When are the auctions available?
The auctions will be held from April 4th through April 12th. Bidding will begin and end at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT.
There will be over 25 items up for auction ranging from:
Signed football and rugby shirts from Welsh teams including the national teams and individual player shirts from the best in Wales like Joe Allen and Jess Fishlock
A zoom call with Michael Sheen
Michael Sheen signed items including new polaroids, prints, and an original drawing
Good Omens items including pieces signed by Michael Sheen and Neil Gaiman
More items may be added during the course of the auction window, we will announce any additions on both Twitter and Instagram.
Where can I find the auction?
The live auction can be found here and you will always be able to find it on the auction homepage for the duration.
How does the auction work? Can I just send you my bid?
We will be hosting the auction through an external auction website so we will not be accepting bids elsewhere. Bidders will need to create an account with the website and place their bid, but anyone can view the lots without an account.
In order to create an account the only information necessary is your name and email address. When you place a bid, only your display name will be shown. Update emails will be sent to keep you informed if you are outbid.
Important: Register with an email address where you can receive regular communication from members of The White Curl. We will periodically check in with bidders that are bidding high amounts and/or are leading bidder on multiple lots at once. Every effort will be made to confirm a bidder’s intention of donating their bid amounts and The White Curl reserves the right to remove a bid/bidder suspected of fraudulent activity. Please only bid if you intend to follow through with your donation.
Do I complete my donation through the auction website?
Auction winners will donate their winning bid amount directly to Street Football Wales.
**Donations to other charities will not be accepted for this campaign
**Donations must be in GBP (£)
**Proof of donations are due within 24 hours of auction closing (April 13th)
We will email all winners immediately after auction close with a reminder of these instructions.
Email (orders@thewhitecurl.com) a screenshot of your donation, along with the Lot # you won, within 24 hours of the auction closing. Winners will not be confirmed until screenshots have been submitted and checked with the charity. **Screenshots must show donation amount and donation ID/confirmation number.**
We will gather shipping information from the winners after we have confirmed their donation.
I won’t be able to participate in the auction, is that my only chance to support Street Football Wales?
There will be a store featuring a new Michael Sheen drawing on merch as well as Team Wales/Street Football Wales gear. We intend to launch the store as quickly as we can after the auction closes and we’ll announce that date as soon as we have it!
If you are interested in contributing to the fundraiser outside of the auction or store, please do so here!
Do I have to pay for shipping?
As it has always been in the past, shipping is free and we ship all around the world! If you’d like to donate to The White Curl we accept donations to help with shipping costs only. Please send us a message if you’re interested in helping!
