Our club, the Iron Fist League, is hosting it's annual charity tournament/silent auction for Race for the Cure on March 19, 2011. Last year we raised over $1400 with this event. Obviously, that could be hard to beat. Which is why I'm reaching out to my fellow Bartertown members and others asking for their help. Got an old model or kit that you're never going to get around to using, we'll take it off your hands and put it in the silent auction. Painted, unpainted, built, unbuilt, I don't care. We'll take anything.

I'll post items donated and donor's name/handle in this thread as items arrive. Contact me via PM for delivery details. If desired, I'll put together receipts as well, for that good old charitable deduction on your taxes. And of course, once the dust settles, I'll post how it all turns out.

In addition, the IFL will be walking as a team in the DC area Race for the Cure. If you'd like to join us, here's a link to thread containing that info:

On a personal note, my father died of cancer, as did my paternal grandfather. I guess that tells you that this event is important to me personally. Thanks for reading, look forward to hearing from you.

Making this a Global Announcement.

P.S. Your links are broken.

Thanks for the global. I'll get those links fixed.

Yep, sure can. Provide me with an estimated value of the donation (include shipping), and I'll make out a receipt for you.

I just want to give a very heartfelt and public shout-out of thanks to ProV1x for the TWO boxes of goods he donated. May God bless and smile upon you.

And today I receive another box full of donated miniatures from Ironwarriors83. Complete force of Warmachine Mercenaries, looks like. Cody, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Oh yeah, and I keep forgetting to mention him, mostly cause he's sooooo annoying In other words, I actually know this guy.

Thanks Matt (MattHoell, fairly new bartertowner), I know you're donating something, and I'm outting you.

Don't really have anything donate worthy, so I'm donating a gift certificate from the Game Vault. Not much, but its something

Something is always better than nothing! And it's for a fantastic cause! Always remember, even if it's a small difference, that's all it takes in this case, for someone to have a chance to live, and you contributed to that, and that's a very honorable gesture

And thanks to MM for the package I received yesterday!!

Well, it wasn't much, but I don't keep a lot of extra around any more.
I'm just glad I was able to offer something, as I've told you how dear this charity is to my heart.

And altho I haven't seen it yet, I know a package from csr556 was delivered to the store yesterday. Thanks!!

Well, the party is over, the final tally is in. Our goal was to beat last year's $1400. And thanks to the generosity of our players, those that showed up to bid on the auction, and in a large part, to the generosity of those members of the online community that donated goods to the auction, our final tally is..........


$2000!!!

Once again, my thanks to each and every one of you that sent donations.

Very cool!
I'm happy to have been able to help with the worthy endeavor.
