amnesiack: (PAX)
[personal profile] amnesiack
The auction dinner went swimmingly last night. We raised over $82,000 (not including the ~$15,000 from people paying to attend). This is a significant step up from last year's $17,000, and it will be a great boon to Child's Play as a whole. The interesting thing is that nearly half that money came from one person: Christian Boggs, Bidder #111, who some may remember as the person who ended up buying the original PAX program cover art for $8,700 to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. I came away with nothing this year, despite having significantly more money that I could spend; things just got too pricey. It was a lot of fun being with my PAX-mates, though, and a great event in general. I'm very glad I took the day off to be a part of it from set-up to tear down, despite not getting to sleep until almost 1 am. And, of course, donations are always still welcome:
