Hello everyone from Project Pinball!

As we all know this past year has been incredibly hard for everyone in every corner of our world. I hope you all have weathered the storm and are looking forward to the dawn that is the end of the pandemic that has brought both our nation and this amazing hobby to its knees. As we begin to reopen and restart, Project Pinball is proud to announce that we will again have a charity auction at this year's Pinball Expo this fall.

Pinball Expo is going to be better than ever after the long absence and has graciously expanded our auction display area! We are excited to see what everyone has been up to creatively this past year and we are graciously accepting donations which will help put more machines in children's hospitals for patients and families to experience. If you would be interested in donating, we’ve created the form below.

https://forms.gle/VvgQtXjmSPjiwpwQ6

The show is months away, but we are starting early with upcoming donations being front and center of our auctions display. Not only is this a great chance to showcase your newest innovations and creativity this is also for a great cause! Promotional material will feature contributors and a company logo can be added to our sponsor page (http://projectpinball.org/sponsors) as well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for more info and upcoming details. Thanks!

I want to say I'm humbled by the response to those I've reached out to directly and in this thread. The support of the community helps place and maintain machines through our wonderful volunteers. I want to thank everyone and the charity looks forward to continuing to place machines for the kids and families.

It has been a while since an update, we've had more wonderful support for the auction including UpKick Pinball! They've got some great mods in their shop and two will be featured in the charity auction. Both those are shown below, their Dine Time and Snack Attack Kits. Thanks!

Have you ever opened a package having an idea what's inside and still been taken aback? That was the case today when Williams System 11 CPU and WPC-89 CPU (and Security) boards arrived from DumbAss (Victor). He graciously donated both for the charity auction and we can't thank him enough. The purple boards are special in that you cannot purchase them directly, he can speak to that. The hobby, people, and Pinside are all awesome. Thanks everyone!

And now that people have seen the front, here is a picture of the back. Awesome and much appreciated by the charity, we are excited to show these off at Expo! I should note it is a System 11B board and the flipper relay is included.

I want to update this thread to say the charity can't thank Spooky Pinball enough for their support of Project Pinball. Our two raffles for either of their CE machines, Halloween or Ultraman, sold out in just a few hours! The support of everyone in the community including manufacturers, vendors, enthusiasts, volunteers, and more is awesome and absolutely appreciated! It has been and always will be for the kids.

Thank you all!

And a BUMP for Pinball Expo now being only 100 days away. If anyone has anything they'd like to donate to our charity auction, please send me a PM. I am excited to let everyone know toddtuckey will be the emcee once again. We are excited to have Todd controlling the mic and room like only he can!
