PyCon 2013 Charity Auction

We are proud to announce the Second Annual PyCon Charity Auction. Last years auction was a huge success raising over $10K for PyLadies. Over 30 items from 23 sponsors and fellow attendees were auctioned off. The top items were from Disney, GitHub, and Dell. Items auctioned included unique works of art, stained glass, clothing, books, and laptops. Winning bids ranged from $40 to over $2000. This is a fun and entertaining way to support the PyLadies community. A good sense of humor is recommended and bidding is not required.

The Auction is taking place Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 6:30pm in room 710B. A small cover charge is required for refreshments, and can be paid as part of your PyCon registration or at the auction door.
