Charity Auction
Thank you for the great nominations for designated charities. A live vote was held at our October planning meeting, and the results are in! MarsCon 2011 charity auction proceeds will be split evenly between the Gordy Dickson Memorial Scholarship Fund which benefits aspiring science fiction authors and Kids Need to Read, founded by author PJ Haarsma and actor Nathan Fillion to improve literacy rates by providing new books to underfunded schools and libraries across the United States. We are also hosting a food drive for Twin Cities’ Second Harvest Heartland.
Please consider helping out in one or more of these ways:
- Donate an item for the live auction. (Bright, shiny objects a fan would love)
- Donate a canned food item for the food drive.
- If you donate in the name of your favorite party room, that party will receive recognition at Closing Ceremonies.
- Bid on charity auction items. (No bid is too high.)
- Help out as a runner or organizer for the charity auction.
If you are planning to host any charitable activities or events at MarsCon, we’ll be happy to include them in our program as well. You may contact us via snail mail or e-mail: info.
Thank you for your generosity!
