'Paint the City Pink' - Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

Dr Warlocks pink take on the PC logo


Some of you may remember that last year we ran a Breast Cancer Brawl at our local club where all the participants helped to raise over £500 for the local cancer ward.
I wanted to run something again this year but unfortunately the club has shut down.
Then I spotted that the Breast Cancer Brawl team had suggested adding Pulp City to their list of games.
That gave me an idea.

Paint the City Pink!!

The idea of this 'supreme' fundraiser is a painting competition.
Each person paints 1 or more Pulp City models in a pink scheme and sends them in. (Or any other super hero or villain if you cant get your hands on PC ones)
The top models will win some awesome prizes that have been donated for the competition (list below)
ALL the models will then be auctioned off to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and the Breast Cancer Campaign
Their work helps people worldwide and every penny we can raise helps them.

-3 Unreleased Reaver Lords models from Pulp Monsters Pics HERE

  3. Think I'll have some of this. Painting pink will make a nice change to grim and gritty superheroes and it's for a good cause too. Don't tell Rusti though, I'm supposed to be sculpting... ;)

  6. We lost my wife's dad to lung cancer, so this charitable effort means a lot. I know the tie-in is with breast cancer awareness, but anyone who's lost a loved one to any form of cancer certainly knows how important research and education are. Thanks, Ian, for taking the lead on another great effort.

    1. Heroclix is a great idea for this. Never thought of that until now.
      If you dont have / cant get hold of any PC then anything else that fits the theme is good
