The Anthrocon Charity Auction this year will benefit the Western Pennsylvania National Wild Animal Orphanage, a sanctuary for big cats and other "exotic pets" whose owners discovered the reality of trying to keep a wild animal as a housepet.

The auction will be held on Saturday afternoon right next door to "The Zoo" at Anthrocon. You won't want to miss it! Check out some of the astonishing items that will be available for bid:
- An actual authentic brick from the Adams Mark!
- Certificates good for FIVE FREE NIGHTS at the Omni William Penn Hotel!
- A commission from the one, the only, the legendary artist WOOKIEE!

Also, the famous furry comic 2, the Ranting Gryphon and my humble self will be performing together on stage on Sunday afternoon, in a benefit for our charity. Admission will be available only to those who make a purchase at the charity auction, or who make a donation (minimum $5, please!) at the charity table in the dealers' room.
