Here are the details, as seen on the auction listing:
This year, my family and I are going to be providing a night of dinner and activities for a Salt Lake City emergency women’s shelter a week before Christmas. My wife is going to be preparing enough food to feed up to 200 women and children at the shelter, and my kids are working on crafts and other activities that they can do with the kids there.
My part in all this is to provide a bunch of drawing materials for the children at the shelter. I have a strong belief that drawing is a wonderful way of dealing with rough situations, and builds creativity and character in young kids.
ALL proceeds from this auction will go to help provide these materials. To whomever wins this auction: Thank you! You’re about to help make a bunch of little kids really happy this year.
The ExtraLife Christmas Pack includes the following: A large signed 20×30inch quality print of the 56 Geeks, a signed Obey Henry mini print, a signed Murloc mini print, 10 Obey Henry stickers, 10 Fear Steve stickers, a signed Zombie Santa mini print, a signed Zombie Robot mini print, and a Grunty The Murloc Marine in game World of Warcraft pet code.
The winner will also be the subject of conversation on ExtraLife Radio, The Instance, & AppSlappy in upcoming episodes.
Want to give another way? Contact me and I’ll provide details on ways that non-bidders can help.
Thank you! – Scott, Kim, Taylor, Carter, & Nick

Dude! Sorry, didn’t know a better way to start this comment, but you just made me regain a bit of hope for mankind, this is an awesome way to give back to the world. If i can scrounge up some cash I’ll be doing a bit of bidding. A hearty, winter solstice(y) hug for you and your family. Keep on rocking!
This a great idea Scott, I found the link you made for the paypal as I can’t afford $150 for the prints.

What a great thing for you and your family to do! Some of my clients are in these shelters and hope and compassion are greatly needed. I agree about the power of drawing — sometimes words just aren’t there and drawing is a great way for kids to tell their story. Alas, I work for a non-profit, which means no profit for me, so I can’t bid. But I can cheer you on!
K this is cool and a good thing to do but your acting like Scott will change the world in a massive way, he’s just a dude he’s not a (removed for being jerky. The lesson? Don’t be jerky.)
This is awesome Scott. You truly are one of the coolest people I know. I will likely be contacting you soon to see what other help you may need.
On a side-note, it would be awesome for you to some charity sales later too, perhaps sell some prints and donate part of the cost to a charity, I would be much more likely to buy them then. I don’t really have too much use for the prints but I think it would be worth buying them if part of the costs went to a good cause.
The self promotion thing via this site and the product the instance has reached embarrassing proportions.
Scott if you need cash that bad just ask rather than humiliating them into pimping your drawings that really no one wants but some chool kids who think its trendy to pop on their teachers car.
