Catalogue Note
A study in white cotton
One pair of white slim trousers, worn by Marky Mark — and only Marky Mark. Photographed on a Florida patio at night: arms out, hat on, the lot as it is. No studio varnish. No catalogue retouching.
Listen: what we do is we all want to be one of those fans. This lot is for that feeling. Signatures for everybody, plus a medium dick print. The fabric does not negotiate. Blue ink across the front, over that outline — the signatures are part of the work. What you are bidding on is the garment Marky Mark wore, signatures for everybody, and a medium dick print, offered with the dry courtesy of an evening sale for fans of the Degenerate Army of the No Pants Show.

Give Kids The World Village

What they do
Give Kids The World Village is an 89-acre nonprofit storybook resort at 210 South Bass Road in Kissimmee, Florida. Since 1986 it has provided weeklong, cost-free vacations for children with critical illnesses and their families — more than 205,000 families from all 50 states and 77 countries (GKTW’s published figures).
Families receive meals and lodging at the Village, plus attraction access through partners. Volunteers are core to how the Village runs day to day.
Overhead — what the filings show
This is not a zero-overhead claim. Audited figures for the year ended June 30, 2025 (GKTW Audited Financial Statements FY25) break total expenses of $72,028,923 as follows:
Supporting activities combined (management & general plus fundraising) are about 8.4% of total expenses. For the prior year ended June 30, 2024: program $68,522,552 of total $73,942,092 ≈ 92.7%; their FY24 annual report states “93 cents of every dollar going directly to programs.”
EIN 59-2654440 · 501(c)(3). Professional fundraising fees: $0 on recent ProPublica 990 extracts (FY2024 & FY2025).
Overhead they don’t pay for
Because theme parks and partners donate tickets, meals, and gifts — and volunteers donate labor — GKTW does not have to buy those program costs with cash the way a typical charity would. A cash donation (including this auction) stretches further. They still have real management and fundraising costs (~8%), documented above.
Non-cash contributions for the year ended June 30, 2025 totaled $47,098,110 (FY24: $42,817,605). Open a panel for the audit Note 7 breakdown:
Partner theme parks donate admission, parking, and photo packages so Wish families can visit attractions without GKTW buying every ticket at retail cash rates.
FY25: $42,819,055
FY24: $39,040,759
In-kind toys and gifts for children and families during their week at the Village — donated rather than purchased from cash reserves.
FY25: $2,468,938
Donated food and beverage that help feed families during their cost-free vacation week.
FY25: $502,977
Everyday supplies families need during their stay, contributed in-kind by partners and donors.
FY25: $425,455
Additional program-related in-kind gifts that support the Village experience beyond the larger ticket and gift categories.
FY25: $527,377
Character visit experiences donated so children can meet favorite characters during their week.
FY25: $138,166
In-kind capital improvements that help maintain and upgrade Village facilities without drawing the same cash outlay.
FY25: $138,934
In-kind support tied to fundraising (auctions and related), per audit Note 7 — a small slice of the non-cash total.
FY25: $77,208
Per the FY24 annual report, volunteers have served 5 million hours across 1.6 million shifts — up to about 1,800 shifts a week, with an average of roughly 229,000 volunteer hours. Volunteers save the Village nearly $9.4 million annually (FY24 annual report).
That donated labor is another reason cash gifts go further: core Village work is staffed in part by people who give their time.
