arisia | Charity Raffle At Arisia

Hi there! I had posted before, mentioning that Arisia is going to be hosting a charity raffle this year, and I wanted to give everyone an update, and details.

tpau and I are participating in the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure, and we're holding a raffle to help raise funds - all proceeds will go to the charity. We've managed to assemble a mighty list of awesome prizes, and we keep adding more, so anyone who's coming to the con should stop by our table and check it out! We're going to have a table just outside the Dealer's Room, so feel free to stop by, check out the prizes, and buy tickets anytime.
