Great Pumpkin Patch Celebrates Halloween for Charity
Florida-based comic store chain Coliseum of Comics is celebrating Halloween in style with the Great Pumpkin Patch fundraiser, a unique Halloween-themed auction event to support the Hero Initiative and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation.
Coliseum has sent artificial pumpkins to industry artists, who have transformed the fake gourds with their art. These amazing and unique original art seasonal decorations will be auctioned off via eBay, with 100% of the proceeds split between the two charities. Coliseum will absorb all costs associated with this event.
“We wanted to do something fun to support these two great charities,” Coliseum of Comics owner Phil Boyle said. “With these artists’ original work in high demand, we expect fans to want these unique Halloween pieces.”
Great Artists Participate
The auctions are scheduled to begin on Coliseum of Comics’ eBay store – https://www.ebay.com/str/coliseumofcomicswarehouse – on October 10th. Artists participating include Jeffrey Brown, Kieron Dwyer, Megan Hutchison, Joseph Michael Linsner, Mike McKone, Adriana Melo, Graham Nolan, Tim Seeley, and Andy Smith.
