Penny Arcade is hosting a swanky fundraising dinner event for Child's Play and you're invited!

Since 2003, geeks and gamers worldwide have banded together through Child's Play and raised over two million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children's hospitals across North America and the world. Our annual fundraising dinner auction is the headline event for the drive; please come out for a delightful evening and support the gamers' charity!

The evening begins Tuesday, December 11 at 6:30pm, on the 4th Floor of the Washington Convention Center (Skybridge). Meet Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade, browse and bid on silent auction items while you enjoy hors d'oeuvres, wine, and good company. Dinner and the live auction will commence at 7:30pm.
