Image Text: Get Out The Float to Buy Their Own Bouncy Castles! One of the biggest things inflating GOTF's prices is bouncy house rentals! Scan the QR code to learn more! Help us purchase our own bouncy castles for volunteer safety, long-term cost savings and more reliable fun! Only with your help can we show more furries the joy of bouncy houses!
Sypheryan and Wyra were both kind enough to create the following graphics for our fundraiser!* I'm so happy for the help from both of you, and the little bits of progress being made every day or two.
Help us fill the world with air and with fun; getting our own castles will help us do that.
Squeak!

If you attended GOTF this year, be sure to check your email for a link to the 2026 GOTF Feedback Form. We sent a link to email addresses registered for GOTF this year. We hope to hear from you soon! ^^
I'm honored that I was asked to come to the front of the group photo for @getoutthefloat.com this year.
I'm always happy to provide my ramen to that con, and having it recognized in such a way will always mean a lot to me. 💚
PLEASE blow this up and get it huge (... pun not intended-) bc this is one of the coolest and most unique furcons I've ever seen and if I dont get to go to it at least once in my life because they never get quite big enough for me to pay my hotel tab, I'll actually cry.
gofund.me/4ed7b4aa8 We're looking to get some of our own bouncy castles for future years! Also watch as the donation goal inflates the more that gets donated. ;)
This will give us some predictability as to what castles are available to us, if we own them ourselves. ^_^

I went to @getoutthefloat.com last weekend! Awesome small con vibes, lots of fun inflatables, cool small beachside town, and lots of good times with friends. <3 I'm definitely going again next year!
Sqk! We have the number from GOTF 2026 (and change from 2025)! We've INFLATED!

Breakdown on the donations by events and about our charity: getoutthefloat.com/about-our-ch...
Right now we're still trying to finish up some errands and things and stuff, we're looking to craft a feedback survey for everyone but we'd also like to wrap on GOTF 2026 first and there are some errands to do and phone calls to make. :)
We thank you for joining us at GOTF; it was a rush to serve.
Finneus is such a layabout.
