PopCap Launches Third Wave of Its Charity Art Auction

WHAT:

Starting at noon PT today, PopCap Games launches the third wave in a month-long series of online art auctions giving consumers a chance to bid on once-in-a-lifetime items from the PopCap vault. This week's auction items include a Plants vs. Zombies Dr. Zomboss original concept sketch, a Plants vs. Zombies zombies concept sketch on canvas, a Plants vs. Zombies zombie head costume, a Plants vs. Zombies zombie DJ painting that is 6-foot-by-6-foot, a Peggle Splork concept sketch, Zuma Blitz ceramic tea cup and saucer set, a personalized sketch to be done post-auction with buyer input, and finally a Bejeweled neon blue diamond that you have to see to believe. Opening bids for ALL of these items start at just $1 (dollar).

PopCap is donating 100 percent of all proceeds from the auctions to the Starlight Children's Foundation in the United States and SpecialEffect in the United Kingdom, two nonprofits dedicated to helping seriously ill and disabled children.
