NFT Artist Raises $140K For Cancer Support Charity
Trevor Jones, a popular Scottish NFT artist, raised nearly $140,000 from an art event in Edinburgh, Scotland, to support cancer treatment. The funds were collected at a charity exhibition and auction at an annual Web3 Castle Party near Paris. Maggie’s Edinburgh Fundraising reported that the highest single donation from an art event recorded in the 27-year history of the event was made by Jones, attributed to the support and enthusiasm of the NFT art community.
A fundraiser at Château de Vallery near Paris raised $4,000 to support 4,000 cancer patients and locals. The event, featuring 30 NFT artists, aims to honor a beloved artist who was also affected by the disease. The funds will go towards support services for patients and their families. Since NFTs gained mainstream attention in 2021, the sub-ecosystem has contributed to several philanthropic initiatives in the community.
