Charitymates 4

Charitymates 4 Group Shot - Click to view larger image!

Charitymates is proud to announce that our first wave of custom Minimate auctions is now live and ready for bids!

This year our group of generous customizers was tasked with creating unique robot characters. The resulting customs are amazing in both their creativity and their craftsmanship. A second wave of auctions will begin next week, with even more block figure creations.

Charitymates is an annual charity event held at the Minimate Multiverse. During this event, Minimate customizers (veteran and novice alike) create and donate a Minimate custom based on a theme chosen by the community. These unique creations are then auctioned off on eBay with 75% of the proceeds going to a specific charity (also chosen by the community) and the remaining 25% helping with the operation costs of the Minimate Multiverse.

This year’s charity is Convoy of Hope, a 501©3 nonprofit organization that feeds the hungry and provides pure drinking water to people in need across the United States and around the world. To date, the organization has provided real help to 34.8 million people in 109 countries and 46 states. Lauded for its effectiveness and efficiency, Convoy of Hope mobilizes thousands of volunteers each year to deliver food and supplies and to offer hope to the poor and suffering.
