Auction Details


Our online travel auction is raising money for pre-production and costs to produce a trailer for the documentary, Against the Odds: The Power of Community to Overcome. In 2022 (as of October 11), there were 15 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States. There is always a calculation of the cost to the built environment. What's missing is the same examination of how individuals, and communities are impacted. Through our storytelling, we will share stories of the heartbreak of loss, and how people find the hope, courage, and inspiration for post-disaster recovery and resilience. All auction proceeds will go directly to support these programs. Thank you to all of the generous donors supporting our film. We greatly appreciate everyone who supports our goal to bring this story to life and share it with the world, whether its through a donation or by making a tax-deductible contribution to our GoFundMe campaign. Good luck with your bids!
