LEGENDS MEMORABILIA LAUNCHES NEW SCI-FI AUCTION
FOR CANSTRUCTION® FOOD BANK CHARITY
Highlights include a private lunch with Amanda Tapping!
February 22, 2005 (Vancouver, B.C.): Legends Memorabilia Inc., the cast members of Stargate SG-1™, Stargate: Atlantis™ and Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda™, plus MGM Television Entertainment Inc., Tribune Entertainment Company and Industrial Brand Creative, are spearheading a special charity auction to support the Canstruction® project help the food banks of Greater Vancouver.
Canstruction® Vancouver is an amazing design/build competition using canned food and other non-perishable items as building blocks. Now in its third year, the event brings together teams of designers, architects and builders to create extraordinary structures, which are exhibited to the public and then de-canstructed, with all food shipped to the local food banks of Greater Vancouver. To visit the Canstruction website, please click here.
In 2004, our team built a magnificent ‘movie theatre’ structure (called ‘The Cans Film Festival’) and which consisted of more than 10,000 cans of food. Click here to see photos and a time-lapse video of our canstruction. We are setting the same target for this year’s event and with your help we ‘can’ do it!
Our participation in this project is inspired by our desire to help those in need, and to help raise the funds for this cause; we are conducting a special Sci Fi Charity auction on eBay.com. This special sale features a wide range of unique ‘lots’ donated by our many supporters including Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Christopher Judge, Teryl Rothery, Paul McGillion and the Atlantis cast, Kevin Sorbo, Steve Bacic as well as the generous contributions from MGM and Tribune Entertainment.

Having checked out the Canstruction from last year’s charity auction, I’m stunned – it’s absolutely amazing! I can’t believe they made a cinema out of food cans! I hope the auction is equally successful this year too.
