Welcome to week three of Sandclock’s month-long endeavor to highlight 4 incredible organizations and conduct an auction of 4 extremely rare, one of a kind Wicked Craniums Gods! 100% of proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity. Below you will find a recap of our plans for the next couple weeks and how the auction will work, as well as more information around UNICEF India and their cause.

Sandclock x UNICEF India​

Sandclock is deeply honored to announce a strategic collaboration with UNICEF India. Sandclock, along with Wicked Craniums is conducting an NFT auction that will support UNICEF India’s mission to help young children and adolescents struggling with the challenges of mental health. 100% of proceeds from the assigned God will go directly to UNICEF India.

Also known as the United Nations’ Children’s Fund, UNICEF came into existence 74 years ago and serves children in 192 countries and territories. In 2020, over $7.2 billion was donated to UNICEF to promote health and well-being of children around the world. In 2018, UNICEF assisted in the birth of 27 million babies, administered pentavalent vaccines to an estimated 65.5 million children, provided education for 12 million children, treated four million children with severe acute malnutrition, and responded to 285 humanitarian emergencies in 90 countries. In 1965 UNICEF was awarded the Noble Peace Prize for their work and impact around the world.

Founded on the foundation of amplifying greater good, Sandclock continues to bring highly reputable global organizations to the DeFi ecosystem to collaborate on important projects and many more will be announced in due course of time.

We are delighted to announce that all proceeds from the Wicked Craniums Earth God will be donated to UNICEF India to support young people and adolescents struggling with the challenges of mental health. As Sandclock and UNICEF India join hands, we can significantly amplify our impact in the world.

“This is a significant opening in the NFT space. Thanks to SandClock and Wicked Cranium for initiating this exciting auction. We see this as an opportunity to boost our work for better mental health in children and adolescents across India at a time when we continue to grapple with the impact of the pandemic,” said Yasumasa Kimura, UNICEF Deputy Representative in India.

This week on Twitter Spaces, along with UNICEF India and Wicked Craniums, we were deeply honored to discuss UNICEF India, the work they are doing for young people struggling with mental health, their involvement/interest in the blockchain space, and more.

Sandclock x Wicked Craniums (Recap)

Sandclock is collaborating with Wicked Craniums to bring you the most wicked NFT auction of the century. Best of all, 100% of proceeds will go to charity.

Wicked Craniums is one of the fastest growing NFT projects in the space. And to be honest, the art is really, really cool. Sandclock and its team members have been long-time fans of Wicked Craniums and continue to be involved in the fantastic Wicked Craniums community.

“Wicked Craniums are the pictorial representation of the 10,762 Craniums that belong to the island of Osseous (they have over 180 differntiable characteristics), they live on the Ethereum Blockchain in the form of an NFT.”

Wicked Craniums’ support in this collaboration is proof of their commitment to use art and blockchain to have a meaningful impact on the world. It has been a true pleasure working with the Wicked Craniums team to make this auction happen, and we believe this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership — and friendship — between Sandclock and Wicked Craniums.

Here’s how it will work. Wicked Craniums has created 5 one of a kind NFT skull Gods. They have very generously donated 4 of those skulls to be auctioned off for charity. Together, we have something very special planned for the 5th skull, but you’ll have to wait to find out! Follow Sandclock and Wicked Craniums on Twitter for updates.

In the coming weeks, we will be unveiling the Wicked Craniums skull Gods and the charities who will receive 100% of proceeds from their corresponding skull in the auction.

We will also be having discussions around the importance of each charity’s chosen cause, speaking with representatives from each charity, and more. Keep an eye out!

This collaboration between Sandclock, UNICEF India, and Wicked Craniums is at the intersection of art, DeFi, and philanthropy. We hope it is only the beginning and that we will see more collaborations of this nature in the future!

More details about the auction will be announced in the coming days and weeks. Follow along on Sandclock’s Twitter for updates and please consider participating in the auction!
