While Charticon 2013 just wrapped up a few weekends ago, there is still cool things happening as a result of Charlotte, North Carolina's inaugural, unofficial Transformers convention! One of the events at the convention was a charity auction for an organization named A Child's Place. TFW2005's own flywheels organized the Charticon 2013 Charity Auction, and several members here from TFW2005.COM also helped flywheels with the auction as well giving their own donations to the charity. Charticon and A Child's Place updated their Facebook pages with this:

"The Charticon event raised more than $3,000 for A Child's Place. The event organizers were even kind enough to donate some Transformer toys to our client children too."

If you're curious, A Child's Place is an organization that "works to erase the impact of homelessness on children and their education." It strives to help "families [who] are the working poor. For them, homelessness is not a way of life; it’s a time in their lives. By minimizing the impact of this difficult time on the children and their academic growth, ACP contributes to their likelihood of breaking the cycle of poverty." For more information about A Child's Place, be sure to visit their Facebook page as well as their website!

Many thanks to all who donated and participated in the charity auction and the donation! A special "thank you" to Charticon 2013 guest and voice actor Hal Rayle for his wonderful work as the charity auction's auctioneer! You can check out photos of him in action after the jump!

If you would be interested in sending a donation, please contact A Child's Place directly or contact the Charticon Staff by sending an email to charticon@gmail.com (title the message "I would like to make a donation").
