Fundraising Campaigns
From the beginning of the region all the way through to today as a kingdom, the populace of Avacal have been creative and generous in helping to raise funds for various projects and running of the Gryphon lands. This is a list of some of the wonderful endeavours, starting with the most recent to the distant past. Please note that most, if not all, of these were run by individuals who donated the proceeds, not officially sponsored by Avacal.
