2009 Giveaway Items List Unveiled!!
As anticipated, we are announcing our 2009 prize giveaway list for those of you who participated in our Haven Foundation fund raiser this year.
Before you scroll down and have a look, please take a moment to consider the cause and the reason we are able to have this wonderful event.
Every year TheDarkTower.com stands together and raises money for The Haven Foundation. This is no small thing we are doing. Freelance artists enrich our lives in so many ways and we are happy to have the opportunity to give a little back. Our efforts here to recognize and support a need among them is special. We should all be proud.
The list below is provided to you by the diligent work of our staff, the members of this site and the unwavering generosity of the very community we stand to support: free lance artists.
If you have contributed to our fundraiser with a cash or item donation, you will have a chance to win every prize on the giveaway list. The drawing this year is going to be phenomenal.
If you have not had a chance to participate, our fundraiser is still looking for your cash donation. $10.00 gets you a chance at one of the prizes below. The winners will be revealed at our annual director's get together in mid-May.
We are still accepting collectible books. If you have something like this and wish to donate it, please PM any one of the Directors.
I am certain this list will evolve so keep track of this thread and our site's marquee for new info.
Please see our Fund Raiser Forum for more information on how to donate.

This sketch is just 1 of the three contributions he made. Our Secretary of Dreams and Illustrated SK Trivia Book are the other 2.
Thanks Glenn!
