Current Charity Event

Spirit of Gizzmas 2024

We're continuing to support World Central Kitchen and launching a new annual Weirdo Swarm Charity initiative - THE SPIRIT OF GIZZMAS! Donations will be tracked via the fundraising site pledge.to, and donations will distribute directly to World Central Kitchen allowing us to track our impact as a community! For every dollar donated to WCK via the Weirdo Swarm fundraiser, you will receive one entry into the raffle for the grand prize of an official King Gizzard x WAH-WAH Australia gator sweater (size XL) donated by IG @Scizzardland!

WCK is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to being first to supporting the frontlines by providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Founded by respected chef José Andrés, the organization has served over 50 million meals in more than 17 countries.
