I would absolutely love to see Danny "the Count" Koker's response to this one.
What I wouldn't give to have all of these pieces in the auction at Everfree. Heck, to have /any/ of them!
Yes, a thank-you letter will be sent out to each and every person who donates a sum of money and/or who purchases an item through the auction. (Unfortunately, we can't send one to everypony who donates a toy, or I fear I would likely die of terminal writer's cramp....)
All donations, in their entirety, go to the Seattle Children's Hospital. The hospital gathers funds to help pay for the care of those children whose families for whatever reason do not have the financial means to pay for care, as well as to purchase equipment such as MRI machines, premature baby incubators, blood pressure monitors, and anything and everything else you might imagine a hospital needing. Last year, we requested they earmark our donation for patients who can't pay, and they did. We're thinking of doing the same this year.
It seems this didn't get into the press release somehow, so I'll leave it here as a comment. We're also running a toy drive at the convention, to gather toys for patients of Seattle Children's Hospital. We are accepting donations of new, in-original-packaging toys of all types, (it need not be MLP, but of course ponies are greatly appreciated!), and will have bins about the convention to gather your donations in. Thank you!

It is indeed that costume. And yes, it's been statue-fied, although it can be recostumized as well. (New words for the win!)
If you would indeed like to donate, we'd be glad to accept donations either at the convention or through email. Please contact me at charity@everfreenw.com if you're actually serious about this! Thank you!
Yes, there very much /is/ a message there that you should be picking up. It is as follows:
She bought a Rainbow Dash bikini.
End of message.
Well, that's thirty one seconds of my life I'm not getting back....
No, no, no! They said 'die FOR', not 'die FROM'. There's a big difference!
