The Admin Team
Amanda Lay
Creator/Executive Director
(She/They)
Amanda Lay has been a Drag performer for nearly 20 years. Though Drag is a passion for them, their top passion has always been helping others and creating events to support non-profits or individuals in need. This passion started young; they clocked over 2,500 hours of community service in their junior and senior years of high school. They were rewarded for this work with a US Presidential Freedom Scholarship.
Amanda has held many positions in their service career. Some positions include March of Dimes State Youth Chairman, MDA Jerry Lewis Telethon Carnival Director, The Center Project Board Member, MidMo Pridefest Vice President/Entertainment Chair, Founder of The Miss Gay City of Columbia Missouri Courage Scholarship, and now the Founder of The Great Palia Charity Hunt, to name a few. Amanda is blown away by the success of this event and is honored to keep this success alive.
They would like to thank all the support they have had to keep this crazy dream continuing on along.
Lindsay Lauer
Events Manager
(They/Them)
Lindsay, also known as Lady Vyolence, has been a part of The Great Palia Charity Hunt as a moderator since the first event in June of 2024. They have worked on multiple events with streamers to raise funds for both charities and personal goals, and have been playing Palia from early beta testing, making them an exceptionally valuable member of the team.
With both knowledge of computers and graphic design, what began as moderating streamers during the event became running the Tilitfy during the event, running the discord, and overseeing the event from the backend. Their dedication to these events and helping behind the scenes with both the moderators and the streamers alike has made the process of running these monthly smooth and without compromising the goal—raising funds for charities around the world.
Ramrod
Mod Manager
(He/Him)
Meet Chris, also known as Ramrod574 or simply Ram. Ram has been involved with The Great Palia Charity Hunt since its inception in June 2024. What began as a streamer competing in the event quickly grew into a deeper commitment to the community. After discovering a passion for supporting fellow streamers and helping raise funds for various charities, he stepped into a moderator role for future events.
His dedication and leadership eventually led him to take on the position of MOD Manager. With extensive knowledge of Palia and a strong understanding of what it takes to manage and support moderators behind the scenes, Ram has become an invaluable member of the team. His commitment, experience, and willingness to help others have made a lasting impact on the event's success.
Ram has become a vital part of The Great Palia Charity Hunt team, and everyone is excited to see the positive influence he will continue to have on the moderator team and the community moving forward.
