According to Child’s Play, $183,000 was raised during the organization’s Gala and Auction. The Omegaclaw from PAX 2010 and the Portal Gun both went for more than $14,000 and Desert Bus for Hope presented a check for $207,000 to Child’s Play at the event.
“Every year, we are blown away by the fantastic items and incredibly generous bids at the gala and auction,” said Kristin Lindsay, Foundation Coordinator for Child’s Play. “Even more heart warming is the thousands of gamers that can’t attend the gala, but organize their own local fundraising. It’s this grassroots community activity that accounts for the majority of Child’s Play donations.”
