Amidst the presentations and workshops, retailers opened their hearts, wallets & checkbooks to bid in the 2018 Retailer Summit Silent Auction, which raised a total of $5025 to benefit Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, The Center for Cartoon Studies, the Dave Hawksworth Family Fund & Hero Initiative.
A highlighted lot of the auction: the distinctive jacket worn and donated by Diamond Vice President of Retailer Services Chris Powell at the Summit’s Tiki Party Reception.
