Sterek Campaign

We are welcoming in the new year by wrapping up our Wolf Pack Charity Project!

We are attempting to raise at least $5,000 to adopt the entire wolf pack of Wolf Haven International. There are over forty wolves at the sanctuary, and the fandom’s donation will help provide food, medical care, and enrichment for all of them! Last year fandom’s donation of $10,000 gave the sanctuary the ability to build a brand new deck pen, which allows the volunteers to introduce new wolves to the older wolves in residence.

Last year, the donation was made in Jeff Davis’ name, which granted him a lifetime membership to the sanctuary. This allows him to visit for special tours, gave him a certificate of adoption for the pack, a paving stone on their walking paths, and the ability to become a “keeper for a day” and experience helping care for the wolves.

This year, we would like to make the donation in Tyler Posey’s name. If we can raise our goal of $5,000, the sanctuary would be able to give him a lifetime membership as well. As of the moment, we are still about $1,000 short of this goal!

We are attempting to raise the rest of the donations by hosting a second-chance auction for all of the fiction/artwork commissions and crafts that were unclaimed after the first auctions. You can find these auctions here if you would like to bid on fanworks. Donations made through the auction will go 100% to the sanctuary, and you’ll get something lovely in return!

For those of you that would like to help the wolves just by donating directly to the sanctuary (not through us), they are hosting a page for the charity here that allows fans to donate through PayPal. If you’d like to make a credit card donation, you can still use that page, or you can donate through their main donation page. If you use the main donation page, be sure to select "Teen Wolf donation" so that it counts!

Let’s work together and ring in the new year by helping a sanctuary full of wolves!

As promised, we’d like to update everyone on the status of the Wolf Pack Charity Project! Due to some site/server/communication issues, we have moved the dates for the auctions forward!

What does this mean?

This means that instead of holding the auctions in October/November, we will now be holding them in November/December! Since we have more time before they begin, we have also decided to extend the deadline for volunteer authors, artists, and crafters! If you want to volunteer, you now have until November 5th to get your information to us!

We are especially interested in artists, so we’d be grateful if you could pass this along to any artist friends you may have that would like to help some wolves!

What is the new schedule?

Authors auction: November 8-11th, 2013
Artists auction: November 22-25th, 2013
Crafters auction: December 6-9th, 2013

Does this change when payment and commissions will be due?

Yes! Payment for each separate auction will be due within two weeks of that auction’s ending date. Commissions will now be due at the end of February instead of January.

The site is still down, where can I find the AAC Calls?

Authors Call
Artists Call
Crafters Call

If I have other questions, how should I contact you?

You can feel free to send us an ask or an email at SterekCampaign@gmail.com. You can also comment on this post. We will get back to you as soon as we can!

Please help us spread the word about these changes!

While the auction is over for now, direct donations are still open for our Wolf Pack Charity Project!


This project will continue to run through the end of January, so you haven’t missed your chance to help protect these gorgeous wolves! (Click link to to find the direct donations page on Wolf Haven International’s site.)

The Sterek Campaign’s Fourth Call to Love is a Go! Introducing The Wolf Pack Charity Project!

We are very pleased to announce that for the next two months, we have partnered up with MTV Act and Wolf Haven International rescue to bring the entire Teen Wolf fandom a chance to help a beautiful wolf sanctuary care for its wolves!

What is Wolf Haven International?

Wolf Haven International (WHI) is a beautiful 82-acre wolf rescue and sanctuary located in Tenino,WA. Since 1982 they have helped to rescue and care for over 170 captive-born wolves. They also participate in Species Survival Plans (SSP) (ie: foster programs) for the incredibly endangered Mexican grey wolf and the similarly endangered red wolf. They work to maintain healthy and stimulating environments within the sanctuary for the wolves, educate the public on our furry friends, and provide some really stellar care for their residents; and let us just say, they have some wolves after our own hearts!



Remember when this circulated the fandom??

WE GET TO ADOPT THIS GUY.

Sanctuaries like this are always in need of donations, monetary and material. They do not get federal funding to care for their rescues or the wolves in their SSP program. There is no profit in running this sort of much-needed safe haven for these beautiful creatures. The volunteers have to somehow find the ability to pay for the food, the enclosures, the water bills, the enrichment toys, and all the other various costs accrued through their work to protect their residents.

This is where we come in! This is where we can help! This is where we can extend a paw that could save lives down the road. Because that is what sanctuaries like Wolf Haven International do. They save lives. They are brought in to bad situations, like that of the absolutely gorgeous Eve, who spent nine years of her life strung out on an 8-foot drag chain at the same filthy road side attraction as Klondike, their newest resident. Both of these animals, as well as many others, have found a safe, clean, lifelong home at Wolf Haven International.

Want to meet the other wolves we are adopting? Please do! Come see playful Shadow or drop by beautiful Caedus’ page. You can see shy Siri and brave Jacque as well! For the entire pack gallery, just click here! Look at all those adorable faces you will be helping! Want to hear their pack howling? Come visit the homepage!

To the Teen Wolf fandom, we just want to say: can you hear them? They’re howling to us. They need our help. They need help from all of us. So let’s get together on this! Let’s howl back, fandom.

Let’s show them what our wolf pack can do to protect our kindred spirits!

Wolf Pack Charity Project, GO! What we are doing:

This will be a two month project during which we will be offering both direct donations through this page (we will get a link to a WHI hosted page posted there and to our Tumblr when they get it posted) as well as hosting charity auctions for art, fiction and crafts on our Livejournal during the month of December. We will be raising money toward helping the sanctuary pay for the care of all of their residents by adopting their entire pack, comprised of 43 wolves and 5 wolfdogs (and we even get to help their two resident coyotes, Cody and Carosal, n’aww.)

We will be, perhaps, the first wolf pack to adopt a wolf pack!

• Our overall goal for this project is to raise at least $5,000 in order to adopt the entire wolf pack of Wolf Haven International in Jeff Davis’ name. If we can reach our goal, we will be able to present to him an adoption certificate for the Wolf Haven Pack from the Teen Wolf fandom. We are in discussion with the Haven to offer Jeff a chance to come be a Keeper For A Day and see behind the scenes at the rescue with a private tour, amongst other goodies.



• Why the whole pack? Originally we had intended to adopt one wolf, and shower it with our attention and love. But in the course of researching the rescues, in talking to the people who ran them and learning about the wolves that call this particular sanctuary home, we decided that it isn’t about just one wolf. Just like this cannot be about one part of the fandom. We are one part of a large, beautiful pack; the Teen Wolf pack. So instead of one wolf, instead of the Sterek fandom, we are asking everyone to unite; for our entire Teen Wolf pack to care for WHI’s entire pack.

We know you guys can do this! How we are doing it:

• We will be offering the ability to directly donate to Wolf Haven International for the entire two month period. Donations made directly to WHI are tax deductible for those of you in the USA. As with the payment for the cookies project, money donated through the page hosted either by us or by WHI will go directly to Wolf Haven International, not to the Sterek Campaign. They will be accept credit card payments on their site, as well as Paypal!



• For this event, WHI will be creating a special item slot in their online store, which will be linked to on the Wolf Pack Charity Project’s donations page on our own and the WHI site. We will post a direct link to the item the moment they have it listed! This item is for those wishing to pay through credit cards rather than through Paypal. People may select this “item” from their store and designate an amount of their choosing to donate.



• As to the auctions, we will be hosting three sets of 2.5 day auctions beginning with the fanfiction commission auction hosted Dec. 13th-15th. The art commission auction will be hosted Dec. 17th-19th. The crafted items auction will be hosted Dec. 20th-22nd. These will be posted to our Livejournal community with more precise information about bidding on their given dates. We will be posting more detailed information about how the auction works in another post.



• Once we have the official WHI donation page link, we will also be creating a flyer with tear-off tags holding the Teen Wolf page on the Wolf Haven International website, so that people in your area that are not part of our online community can have a chance to donate. If you can, please print copies of this and post them where you are allowed! This will help spread the news to places we couldn’t otherwise reach.

What you can do:

• For information about how to become one of the artists, authors, or crafters for the auction, you can click the links below! We need to have our creators collected and organized by the evening of December 10th so please get in touch with us as soon as possible to help out!


• Artists click here!


• Authors click here!


• Crafters click here!


If you know other artists, authors, or crafters who you think would like to participate, please have them contact us ASAP! Master list for participating artists can be found HERE. Master list for participating authors can be found HERE. Master list for participating crafters can be found HERE.

Some answers for your questions:

1. Do you have to be a part of the Teen Wolf fandom to participate?

OF COURSE NOT! If you want to pass the donation page around to your friends and family, please do! They can donate to this cause regardless of whether they have ever seen the show or not. Everyone is welcome to become a part of helping protect these majestic creatures.

2. Is there a minimum donation?

We don’t believe so! We’re sure that WHI will be thankful for any amount you guys can donate. We will say that we have around 1,600 following our campaign blog on Tumblr and if every one of you donated just $5, we would easily surpass our goal of $5k. In fact, we would almost double it.

3. Is the Sterek Campaign getting any monetary profit out of this?

Absolutely none at all. The Sterek Campaign is simply heading up the charity project for WHI. All the money from donations raised through the auction events will go directly to the Wolf Haven International sanctuary from us after the last of the auctions end. All money donated through the page they are hosting (located here) goes directly to them.

4. How are you collecting the money for the fandom auctions?

To avoid confusion with WHI’s direct donations, the Sterek Campaign will be collecting the auction donations in one place first, through our official Paypal (sterekcampaign@gmail.com). MTV will be verifying both our own and WHI’s addresses. This allows us to ensure that all auction winners have paid without having to bother the sanctuary with those arrangements. We want to make this as easy as possible on the them!

Once the auctions have ended and the winning donations have been collected, we will transfer the total amount to Wolf Haven International’s Paypal and post a screen shot for the fandom to see how much they have raised so far!

5. How can we pay for the auctions? How can we pay to the rescue?

For the auctions, we can only accept payments to our Paypal. But, Paypal offers a way to pay through a credit card without registering through them! So if you don’t have a Paypal account and want to pay through a credit card, they can still help you.

Wolf Haven International can accept both Paypal and credit card payments through their page if you want to give a direct donation. We will get the donation page on their site linked to everyone as soon as we can!

6. What’s the involvement of the MTV/MTV Act/Teen Wolf in all this?

These groups will be helping us to advertise and get the word out about our project. We are hoping to spread word of this as far as possible- around the world if we can! They are in complete support of the project and will be helping to verify that all donations reach where they are intended to go. They will be helping us coordinate the delivery of at least the adoption certificate to Jeff at the end of the project.

(They’re also as excited as puppies to be helping out wolves with us! So sweet, right? D’awww.)

IMPORTANT: We want to reinforce the non-demanding nature of all Sterek Campaign projects. This is, above anything else, an expression of our love and support for Jeff Davis and his wonderful show, Teen Wolf. This project is not about demanding anything; this is about the fandom of Teen Wolf - the entire fandom this time - paying it forward for the wonderful gift of a show we have been given.

That is what the Call To Love campaigns are about - love and support for the future.

So, our lovely Teen Wolf Pack, get out there and start helping our soon-to-be-adopted wolf pack! Let’s share some pack love! We’ll give the first smooch :)
