Title: NYCC 2020 10th Annual Charity Art Auction
Post by: mllNY on October 01, 2020, 01:22:55 PM
Today, ReedPop – the world’s leading producer of pop culture events – announced their 10th Annual Charity Art Auction taking place during New York Comic Con and MCM Comic Con's Metaverse, which will benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Running from October 2 through October 11, fans and art enthusiasts alike can bid for the chance to own a piece of original art from over 150 creators, all for a good cause. Among this year’s participating creators are Mike Mignola, Jim Lee, Yos**taka Amano, Frank Quietly, Doug Mahnke, and Kim Jung Gi. This announcement comes just a week in advance of New York Comic Con and MCM Comic Con's Metaverse, the all-digital event kicking off on October 8 to bring the excitement, community, and incredible content expected from NYCC directly to fans around the world through their partnership with YouTube.

To date, the annual NYCC Charity Art Auction has raised more than $575K towards life saving research and treatment for the children of St. Jude. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Included in that vision is that no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

“Each year, we look forward to giving back to the community through New York Comic Con’s immense platform,” said Kristina Rogers, Event Director. “This year, we are honored to benefit the incredible work that is being done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We are excited for fans to see all of the fantastic artwork by some of our favorite creators.”

New York Comic Con is the ultimate pop culture destination event in the United States. NYCC brings the best of comics, television, film, exhibitors, celebrities, cosplay, anime, and more to create memorable, uniquely exciting experiences for fans. These experiences transcend beyond the walls of the Javits Center and continue to live beyond the weekend of NYCC through Metaverse, the online world of ReedPop digital content.

The New York Comic Con YouTube channel will exclusively live stream panels from leading entertainment brands. For more information, please visit FindTheMetaverse.com and NYCC’s social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).

on a personal note I know the RP member behind the Charity Auction and he is one of the nicest and most humble guys you can meet. I only wish success for him every year when he runs the auction
