Last Chance To Bid On Mark Hall's Avengers Desk
Time is almost up on the auction for Mark Hall's custom built Avengers Desk! Less than 24 hours remain until this item is SOLD! Please help us raise as much money for World Vision as possible. The money will go to provide clean water for people in Africa! If you can not bid, please help by sharing this email with as many people as possible by clicking on one of the following icons or forwarding the email along!
The Desk is a unique combination of display and function, complete with glass top, decorative metal panels, accent lights and even hidden compartments! The Marvel Superhero Desk is fully equipped with Iron Man Helmet and Arc Reactor that lights up; Thor's Hammer, Hawkeyes Arrows with lights; a gamma vault; Captain America's shield; and Nick Fury's gun, badge, and I.D.
Proceeds from the auction will go to benefit World Vision's WASH program in Africa. WASH stands for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. Every day more than 4,000 children die of water-and sanitation-related diseases. This donation will help save children the suffering caused by parasites, worms, dysentery, and diarrhea. Plus, they'll be able to attend school, because they won't have to spend their days sick in bed or walking long distances to collect water. The donation will help provide children and families in poverty with access to clean water through things like:
- Deep wells that supply safe water
- Storage containers for rainwater
- Piping systems to irrigate crops and improve access to clean water
- Purification equipment to treat water contaminated by bacteria and other waterborne disease-carriers
- Latrines and hand-washing stations to protect clean water sources and improve children's health
- And much more!
