Art of Meme — Where Internet Culture Meets Real-World Impact
In 2025, GameStop and Ryan Cohen transformed a viral "Staplegate" moment into a six-figure fundraiser, auctioning a stapler + CEO underwear bundle to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Now the iconic artifacts hit the road in a national touring exhibit: Art of Meme.
In partnership with FBB4 Capital, the tour will launch with a special presentation of a $100,000 donation check to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, with 25% of all future auction proceeds continuing to support the charity.
Event Overview
This fundraiser event, hosted in partnership by FBB4 Capital and The Bear Trap Docuseries, and produced by Archangel Productions LLC (a Georgia LLC), will benefit the Children's Miracle Hospital Network. Held at a prestigious fine art gallery, the event features a $100,000 presentation to the hospital on behalf of FBB4 Capital and The Bear Trap, a live auction where 25% of proceeds support the hospital, and hosting by social media star Ian Carroll (with over 1.3 million followers and appearances on Candace Owens, Joe Rogan Podcast, The Jimmy Dore Show, Info Wars, and as a guest host on the Candace Owens show). Ian will emcee the live production before handing off to professional auctioneer Carey Marchand (25+ years of experience).
Sponsorship tiers are designed to offer scalable visibility and impact, with value-adds focused on brand/product placement across event-generated media, including the docuseries, mini-docs, social media marketing, and promotional content. All sponsors will receive tax-deductible receipts (as applicable under IRS guidelines for charitable contributions) and recognition as supporters of children's health initiatives.
