The MarsCon Charity Auction

On Sunday afternoon we will hold a charity auction to benefit the Camp Heartland Project. This is a national organization, with a permanent campsite in Minnesota, dedicated to assisting children impacted by HIV or AIDS. A portion of the proceeds has been designated for FenSF, Inc., to benefit the Gordy Dickson Memorial Scholarship Fund, a fund established to send aspiring science fiction authors to Clarion. The auction will begin at 3:00 p.m., and will end in time for Closing Ceremonies at 4:00 p.m. A list of donations (see below) will be posted by the Registration Desk throughout the convention. We are hoping for a fast-paced auction with the best participation possible for all who attend.

If you are planning to make a last minute donation at the convention, please bring your donated items to the Operations Desk (Club Room) as early as possible so that your items may be added to the master list and delivered to the charity auction coordinator, Jessie Berg, well in advance of the auction itself. Thank you for your generous contributions.
