VeeFriends & Midwest Cards Return for 24-Hour Charity Stream Supporting Kids Mental Health!

VeeFriends is teaming up with Midwest Cards for the second year in a row for Connecting Through Collecting, a 24-hour charity livestream benefiting The Kids Mental Health Foundation! Last year, a few dozen VeeFriends collectors gathered at Midwest Cards for 24 hours of collecting for a cause. GaryVee made a virtual appearance, there were giveaways, games, and deep connections throughout the day. The event raised over $84,000 for KMHF. It was a reminder of what this community can do when collecting brings us together for something bigger and we're excited to do it again this year!

Join us October 23–24 for exclusive VeeFriends drops, auctions, giveaways, special appearances, and plenty of surprises — all while supporting an important cause. Whether you're tuning in on Whatnot or joining us in Columbus, Ohio, there are plenty of ways to get involved! BOOKMARK THE WHATNOT SHOW HERE!


24 Hours of Collecting for a Cause!

The livestream kicks off Friday, October 23rd at 10 PM ET on Midwest Cards' Whatnot channel and runs through Saturday, October 24th at 10 PM ET.

Here's what to expect:

  • Exclusive VeeFriends Drops - Two limited-quantity releases!

  • Auctions & Giveaways - Collectibles, sealed boxes, prizes, and more.
