While the tech team is busy working days and nights to bring alive the best blockchain platform for donations tracking, our CEO, Francesco Nazari Fusetti flew to Los Angeles to attend the City Gala, one of the major charity events in Los Angeles held right in Universal Studios premises.

City Gala leveraged CharityStars expertise and technology to raise over 200,000$ in live and silent auctions. This was made possible thanks to CharityStars’ tablets located on the tables that enabled all guests to bid in real-time. And the great news is that soon the bids will also be accepted in ETH, BTC and AidCoin, which is a great case for the AidCoin adoption.

Ashton Kutcher, globally renowned actor, investor, and philanthropist, headlined the event and gave a very emotional speech about the power of doing good and presented his foundation, Thorn.

CharityStars is the premier charity auction, mobile bidding and event management enterprise for Nonprofit Organizations which conceived and created AidCoin. CharityStars modern bidding technology works together with the leading online auction presence, customer service, and personal attention to enable Nonprofit Organizations to surpass their event’s fundraising goals.

“This year we had the pleasure to team up with CharityStars and AidCoin in our latest City Gala, they have been of great support in raising 200,000$ in live and silent auctions. We are looking forward to having them involved in our next events and pioneering their blockchain technology. Our organizations share the objective to increase transparency of the non-profit sector, we believe they are the right partner to achieve this important milestone.” Said Ryan Long, Founder of City Gala

The City Gala was founded in 2013 in order to support and promote non-profit, charitable organizations that have a mission to advance humanitarian causes.

The service that the City Gala provides is twofold:

  1. Primarily, the goal of the City Gala is to create awareness about the challenges that humanity must work together to resolve. Programs and initiatives such as advancing educational efforts, mentor-ship programs, equal rights advocacy, climate change research, shelter for the homeless, and access health & medicine are all causes that the City Gala supports.
  2. Also, through producing high profile events, the City Gala gives forward by fundraising for particular charitable organizations that align with the values of the City Gala’s vision for a brighter future.
