Started in 2001 by the Knights of An Tir, the Kingdom of An Tir, through this auction alone, has raised
over $42,000 to donate to various Charities. (http://antir.sca.wiki/index.php?title=12th_Night_Peers_Auction)
This year, Their Most Noble Majesties Octamasades and Achaxe have determined that we should
work toward erasing hate and so have selected The Matthew Shepard Foundation. The Mathew
Shepard Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID 31-1640047) dedicated to inspire
individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.

uphold this commendable tradition of giving from our great Kingdom.
All donations must be sponsored by a Peer. Royal Peers, Knights, Masters of Arms, Laurels,
Pelicans, and Members of the Order of Defense are all encouraged to sponsor a populace member’s
