DF SET TO GIVE BACK TO THE INDUSTRY
Fund-Raiser to Benefit MoCCA, CBLDF and ACTOR
February
15, 2005, Runnemede, NJ - Beginning today, and continuing
until the end of the month, DF will be donating a total of
15% of their gross online sales to three industry charities.
The effort is being done on behalf of Dynamic Forces in an
effort to "Give something back to our industry and our art
form" according to DF President Nick Barrucci.
The monies
generated for the next 14 days (through end of day February
28th) will come from sales completed on the DF website, and
the 15% will be split three ways, with 5% going to ACTOR (A
Commitment to Out Roots), 5% to the CBLDF (Comic Book Legal
Defense Fund) and 5% to MoCCA (the Museum of Comics and Cartoon
Art). Fans and customers can do their part by simply making
purchase at the DF site like they normally do, browsing signed
comics, statues, lithos and the DF Daily special packages.
"The comics
market is very important to me, and to be able to give back
as part of our 13th Anniversary, is the best feeling in the
world. And these organizations need as much financial help
as is possible. This is our small way of giving as much as
possible." Explained Barrucci.
When news
of the plan spread, here's what the recipients had to say:
"Partners
like Dynamic Forces are one in a million. ACTOR is pleased
to be part of such a generous promotion with such a charitable
company," said Jim McLauchlin, A.C.T.O.R. Comic Fund's
President.
"Nick
and Dynamic Forces have been among our most dynamic supporters
since our relationship began -- pun intended. They are proactive,
going out of their way to make the public aware of the importance
of MoCCA's mission and the importance of giving," said
Lawrence Klein of MoCCA
The CBLDF
was unavailable to provide a quote at press time.
But wait,
there's more! In addition to the donations based on online
sales, the ever-charitable Joe Quesada has also donated his
personal copy of the DF produced Giclee, featuring his Daredevil
vs. Spider-Man composition, which Alex Ross then painted.
This signed and limited Giclee will be available for auction
via eBay and all the proceeds will be going to ACTOR. But
wait, there's still more! Michael (Powers artist and co-creator)
Avon Oeming will be donating original art for the E-Bay auction
as well, with all proceeds going to MoCCA! Any additional
creators who wish to participate in the auctions for their
favorite charities should contact DF by the first week in
March.
Look for
more details on these auctions and updates on the 14 day charitable
promotion in the next few weeks.
