2008 Child's Play Charity Dinner Auction Ticket Sales Closing Soon

by Rainier on Dec. 1, 2008 @ 9:53 a.m. PST

Hurry before it's too late! Tickets are selling faster than the proverbial MMO on launch day for the 2008 Child's Play Charity dinner auction to be held on Dec. 9 in the Washington State Convention and Trade Center's skybridge; ticket sales will close this Friday, Dec. 5 (unless sold out prior).

The event annually hosts over 400 videogame industry professionals and community members for an evening of drinks and silent bidding, followed by a plated banquet and live auction to benefit sick children in over 50 hospitals around the world. Contributions to the charity already exceed $450,000, passing the halfway mark for this year's goal of $750,000.

Notable silent and live auction items will include:

  • A microwave from Harmonix
  • A Halo 3 Master Chief helmet signed by Bungie, Roosterteeth and Penny Arcade staff
  • A bronze-cast World of Warcraft statue of an orc and wolf mount, given exclusively to Blizzard Entertainment employees
  • A mint-condition, limited edition Black Dreamcast autographed by former Sega President Peter Moore

Dinner auction tickets may still be purchased for $125 per person, $60 of which is tax deductible. Corporate table sponsorships (seats 10) are still available.
