The Cabaret vs Cancer Sci-Fi and Fantasy Online Auction is back and it’s their biggest ever auction, all in aid of supporting people and families affected by cancer.
There are 105 items in this latest auction, covering Doctor Who, Marvel, Star Trek, Star Wars, and much more. There’s memorabilia of all kinds and more signed books and other items than ever before.
Head over to the auction page now and browse the items … “feel the glorious geekiness!” enthuses one of the organisers, Richard Unwin.
All money raised goes to the fight against cancer, so check out the auction here.
Cabaret VS Cancer raises money through world-class cabaret and burlesque, supported by a team of ambassadors across the UK. Their aim is to support people and families affected by cancer.
Since 2016, the registered charity have been working with child bereavement teams in local hospices, to ensure they have the tools and support they need to help children who are losing or have lost a close relative.
Cabaret VS Cancer also works with various organisations to support those currently living with cancer; from the manufacture of modern breast forms for post-mastectomy women in Cornwall, respite breaks and so much more.
As well as their cabaret shows, they host several incredible charity auctions throughout the year, from rare Star Wars collectibles to Twin Peaks autographs. Being officially licensed through the David Bowie estate means they’re also able to raise funds with official David Bowie merchandise.
