CHARITY RAFFLES NOW LIVE!
Three amazing armies, three amazing causes: Charity raffles are now open, so step up, join the Compassionate Force, and take a shot at winning one of these professionally painted armies:
1850 Point Dark Angels: Redemption of the Fallen
in support of Doctors Without Borders
Twice before in the past few years, skilled miniature artists have come together to raise money (thousands of dollars!) for this cause. For 2013, six artists have come together with the Foundation, the NOVA Open, and its sponsors to produce another incredible Charity Army in support of DWB.
1000 Point Necrons: The House of the Silent King
in support of Fisher House
Stiff Neck Studio owner/artist Wes Cogdal (a Captain in the U.S. Army) is working with the Foundation to create and donate the House of the Silent King army in a raffle he hopes will generously support a charity offering direct assistance to veterans and their families, Fisher House. Wes raised a record amount of money in 2012- help him do even better this year! 
35 Point Khador: The Lightish Red Army
in support of Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Brendon Caulkins is a NOVA Open event coordinator for Warmachine/Hordes. Privateer Press (WM/H parent company) is well known for its charitable support of breast cancer causes. Two years ago, Brendon entered their online charity painting contest ("pink" army required), winning Best Privateer Press Army and Best Army overall. He believes the WM/H community will step up in support of BCRF once more - and asked the Foundation to place his prize-winning Lightish Red Army up for raffle to prove it!
