Charity Auction


Updated: 16 November, 2023 @ 12:24pm

The Penguicon staff is very proud to announce the return of the Charity Auction to this year's convention. This year's auction beneficiary is the Child's Play. Who is Child's Play, you ask? Well to use their own words:

Child's Play is a Seattle based, gamer-run organization that holds an annual toy drive for childrens' hospitals. Many of the gifts donated by gamers are, as you might imagine, age appropriate videogames and gaming systems - but they are by no means the only things donated. We received eager donations of coloring books, art supplies, crafts, movies, cartoons, virtually anything a young person could ask for. We asked the world-wide community of gamers, and they gave so much we had to move to larger storage facilities three separate times.

Our 2008 drive raised over 1.4 million dollars in toys and cash for 60 children's hospitals around the US and the world, putting the community's total contribution level since our inception at the five million dollar mark.

If you would like more information, please visit their website at https://www.childsplaycharity.org/

For Donors

If you would like to donate an item or items to the auction, please contact [email protected] for information on how to donate. Upon request in recognition of your generous donation, a link will be added from the image of your auction item back to your company/personal web site.

For Buyers

The auction committee is working on setting up a no-cost system for taking electronic payments. However, until noted specifically on this site, assume cash is the preferred payment method. Please preview the auction items before arriving at the auction to ensure that you have enough funds to cover any purchases. Please remember that the proceeds are going to a very worthy cause and bid generously. Thank you.
