Buck 2013 Charity Auction Donations
As BUCK 2013 draws ever closer, we’re once again gathering a hoard of interesting items for our Charity Auction!
We asked the public what charity we should donate to and they responded with a wide range of options. We’ve narrowed the choices down to ten smaller and lesser known charities who perform vital work, but are also the most neglected when it comes to donations.
You can vote on which one we donate to at the UK of Equestria forums HERE (http://ukofequestria.co.uk/threads/charity-selection-poll.9068/)!
The poll ends on Monday, so don’t delay!
In the meantime, we’re looking for items to sell at the auction in August. If you have anything Pony related, or even not pony but really cool, that you’d like to donate to the charity auction, then send your details to publicity@buckcon.org today. It can be anything from priceless memorabilia, to an interesting poster: show us what you’ve got — original and unique (e.g. signed) items tend to fetch higher prices!
Our vendors this year have also generously promised to create custom and unique one-offs for the auction; if you’d like to join in, then tell us what you’d like to create.
Donated items should be brought to the convention and given to our concierge staff at the Information Point, or posted to our Publicity department who will provide an address if contacted.
