Gone!

We want to express our most sincere gratitude to everyone involved in the Cranboyz art auction! To all of our generous contributors, thanks for your donations! To all of our auction winners, thanks for your bids! Because of you, we were able to raise $2,800 to support The Cran!


Don't forget, there is also a benefit dinner being held this Saturday, April 2nd at the Greentown Athletic Club in North Canton, Ohio. There will be door prizes, raffles and a silent auction including more original artwork, comic memorabilia and other great items to bid on! Stop by if you're able, and you might even be witness to a rare sighting of The Cran himself!

Going... Going...

The day has finally arrived... the Fundraiser for a Friend has begun! All of the auctions are now live! Follow the link to check out all of the swag up for grabs, including original artwork, autographed books, movie memorabilia and even a set of 2 passes to the sold-out 2011 San Diego Comic Con! Place your bids now, because these auctions are up on Sunday!


All auctions are brought to you by The Cranboyz in support of John Randall and his fight with Lymphomic Cancer. 100% of the proceeds from these auctions go directly to benefit John Randall. We want to sincerely thank all of the contributors who donated to support our cause. We really appreciate your generosity!

Happy bidding!
