Hank asks viewers to sign up for DFTBA Pin Pals before its limited openings fill (2018)
ask · status: promotion (not a request) · last event: reminder (2020-06-26) · owner: Hank
In January 2018 Hank urged viewers to sign up for DFTBA Pin Pals before its limited openings filled; that November DFTBA stopped the pin club and replaced it with the Flair Club. In 2019 and 2020 he promoted the Bizarre Beasts Pin Club, whose money went to fighting maternal mortality in Sierra Leone, thanked those who joined, and in May 2020 said it was closed to new members.
