The funds raised from the event will help 4,000 people impacted by cancer and locals who need immediate and vital support.
A nonfungible token (NFT) artist raised nearly $140,000 (114,000 British pounds) from an art event in Edinburgh, Scotland to support cancer treatment.
Maggie’s Edinburgh — an institution dedicated to free cancer treatment — received 114,000 pounds from Trevor Jones, a popular crypto artist from Scotland, who raised funds at a charity exhibition and auction at an annual Web3 Castle Party near Paris.
According to Maggie’s Edinburgh Fundraising, the funds collected by Jones amounted to the highest single donation from an art event recorded in the Edinburgh Center’s 27-year history. A spokesperson representing Maggie’s Edinburgh attributed the success to “the support and enthusiasm of the NFT art community.”
The total money raised from the fundraiser will go toward helping 4,000 people impacted by cancer and locals who need vital support. The exhibition held at Château de Vallery near Paris saw participation from 30 artists
From supporting mental health and protecting war victims to aiding the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) initiatives, NFT and cryptocurrency investors have contributed to helping global society.
