Made with Xara PWFC Online Charity Auctions Twice a year, the PWFC runs a fundraising auction to benefit Project Edan and the club.  These auctions are normally held in the Spring and in the Fall.  Sometimes, if a convention is held, one of the auctions may be skipped in lieu of the live action at the event. Our newest auction for this Fall just completed and raised over $1000 for Project Edan!  An exact amount will be available in a couple of weeks once all the items are shipped.  Thank you to everyone who participated.  Our next auction will be the “live” auction in Portland at the PWFC Convention.  The next web auction will be around November next year. Our prior auction was held in May and featured items from the Paris Comic Con convention, photo books and a few unique items from Peter’s work.  Usually, the club tries to auction items that tie in to Peter Wingfield and his friends -- people like Jim Brynes, David Abramowitz, Mark Deklin, and Adrian Paul - for these fundraisers.  At the most recent online auction, the items included photo books from the PWFC San Antonio convention and from the Paris Comic Con as well as a Skype group chat with Peter for three lucky bidders. Thanks to the generosity of Peter’s fans and other bidders, the Spring 2011 auction earned over $1000 for Project Edan.   While the majority of the money raised in the auctions are designated for Project Edan, with only a small percent going to the PWFC to help fund the club activities and buy more items, a few auctions are 100% (minus any PayPal fees) to the charity.  In turn, Project Edan donates this to UNICEF.  No money is retained by Project Edan on any donations.  All staff at both the PWFC and Project Edan are volunteers.
