Goodies For a Good Cause

mmo-champ reports that blizzard is partaking in an auction to help raise money for the Peninsula Education Foundation and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD). PVPUSD is a school district located in LA, California and includes 11 elementary schools, 3 junior high schools, and 3 high schools.

the bundle of items up for bid includes:
- World of Warcraft Collector's Edition (Signed by the Development Team);
- World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Collector's Editions (Signed by the Development Team);
- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition (Signed by the Development Team);
- World of Warcraft TCG Etheral Plunderer Loot Card;
- World of Warcraft TCG Spectral Tiger Loot Card;
- World of Warcraft TCG Spectral Kitten Loot Card;
- World of Warcraft 1 year Subscription Card;
- World of Warcraft Gryphon Hatchling Plushie with In-game Companion;
- World of Warcraft Wind Rider Cub Plushie with In-game Companion.

that's 7 non-combat pets, a mount, plus a year's worth of game time. not to mention each of the expansion packs and the original WoW game itself.

at the time of this writing there are 7 bids and the highest is $1,600.00. the auction ends on Apr. 26, 2010 at 10:00 PM PDT. not bad so far!

it's a little steep for my budget (that's an understatement lol), but it's good to see blizzard using their means for a good cause. i'm pretty eager to see how much the ending bid is. oh the suspense! one lucky person is going to end up with a whole lot of companion pets on their hands, and i have to admit i'm a bit jealous :P

good luck to those who love to collect and have the income to submit a bid. know that your contribution is heading for a good cause. blizzard deserves a pat on the back for helping support the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District too. with the education budget cuts, any little bit of help can make a big difference.
