Donation Tier Info
What are the donation tiers?
They are limited bundles we sell before the event (pre-order only) which include custom merch, art, and fanmade photocards that we designed exclusively for this event! We plan to sell any remaining items individually at the event, but they will no longer be at the discounted bundle price. We recommend pre-ordering the entire package for the best discount!Why are tiers important?
Donation tier packages are the best way to support our events! Hosting is expensive and we love to have cupsleeves, decorations, and other freebies for everyone, but if we do not break even at the end of an event, it will difficult for us to host more in the future. Donation packages, merch sales, and raffle tickets help us to recover financially and any extra funds are put into our budget for the next event!

Event Activities
Both Locations

You can also shop at our vendor tables, enter our raffle, trade photocards, and hang out with carats all afternoon!<3The hosts have coordinated both events to be as similar as possible, but due to event space and other logistics, some activities are exclusive to the Michigan location.Michigan Only
The event is planned to be held outdoors in the side parking lot of Myomee Cafe, where we will have vendor tables, tier pick-ups, a t-shirt tie dying station, a silent auction, free toploader decorating, sidewalk chalk, and an RDP!T-Shirt Tie Dye Station: If you pre-ordered a tier, please pick it up from the host table to get the correct size shirt that you ordered in advance! We will have a few extras of each size available for individual purchase at the host table for $10 each while supplies last. You can take your shirt to our tie dye station where we have instructions, supplies, and volunteers ready to help with the process!Please be respectful to Myomee Cafe/New Seoul Plaza by keeping as clean as possible - we ask that you do not wash your shirts, hands, etc inside the building. We will have plenty of gloves, water, paper towel, and wipes at the booth outside as well as zip-lock bags to seal your shirts after you're done! To avoid any accidents, please stash your shirt in your car if you can instead of taking it in the building. Myomee is trusting us, so please help keep their property clean so the local kpop community can continue to have fun activities like this in the future!RDP: The RDP is scheduled to start at 2pm!Silent Auction: We are auctioning off some of our Seventeen standees - all proceeds will be going to our budget for future events (and to help us financially recover from this one!). There will be pink and blue clipboards available at the host table if you would like to participate in the silent auction. Each available member will have their own dedicated clipboard to write down your bid amount, name, and phone number.At the event of the event (Sunday at 4pm) we will announce the auction winners immediately after the raffle drawing. The highest bidder on each standee's clipboard will win the auction for that member- but they must be able to transport it home (we cannot ship these due to size!) However, we will text the winners and coordinate an alternate pick-up time/date at Myomee Cafe if needed.
