We are 6 days out from this years EVE Fanfest, and the official EVE site has announced a charity event being held during the festivities! The silent auction will benefit Child's Play.

At Fanfest this year we’ll be holding a silent auction with all proceeds going to support Child’s Play, a charity founded by Penny Arcade. The goal of Child’s Play is to improve the lives of hospitalized children and their families worldwide with toys, books, craft materials and games. 100% of everything donated goes directly to the program; there are no administrative fees or charges.

To place your bid, head over to the Fanfest Silent Auction page! Among the prizes is a tour of the CCP Office in Reykjavik but of course we will have other great prizes as well.

The auction page doesn't give to many details, but best of luck to everyone who enters!
