Every single year, we are blown away by the amount of support we continue to receive.

For the Fifth Annual Socks Open, you all pitched in to raise an outstanding grand total of $19,650.33!

It's hard to describe how much we cherish our community and their generosity ... Or how deep and profound our gratitude is. We truly couldn't do this without each and every one of you.

Together, we keep Michael's legacy alive. Thank you for playing a part in that.

We love you all! by @themvwfund

As they do every year, everyone showed up wearing their best pairs of socks. It brings us so much joy to see all the fun you have picking out the goofiest, most sentimental, or simply cool socks around to help honor Michael. Here's a shoutout to the winners of this year's Best Socks contest. by @themvwfund

There are countless quotes about celebrating your community. But none of them quite sum up just how giving, kind, and wonderful ours is.

And every year, we're reminded firsthand of how grateful and lucky we are to have each and every one of you to lean on.

We'd like to extend an extra thank you to our individual monetary donors. Your donations helped make the 2026 Socks Open a success.

Here's to celebrating Michael! by @themvwfund

Part of the Socks Open fun is looking at all the amazing raffle and silent auction items our community members have so graciously donated. (And carefully choosing which items you'll bet your tickets on.)

That's why we're still accepting raffle baskets and silent auction items.

All donations are needed by Wednesday, August 12th.
