As everyone knows (or will now know), Vs. Newton YoYo Concepts (VsNYYC) has always been about giving back to the community. After lots of thinking time I am attempting to take this to a whole new level by not only giving back to you guys, but also helping a cause that i personally think everyone wants to help out with. I just dont think i can do this one alone

I'm talking about cancer research

Nearly everyone in my immediate and distant circle of friends has either lost a loved one to cancer or has had to endure the hardships of watching helplessly as their loved ones fight for their lives. I am fortunate enough to have not lost a loved one to cancer, but breast cancer does run rampant throughout my genetic code it seems (2 aunts and my grandmother have all fought it and won), and i know many of you fall into this same category. I have no real idea of what these people have been through. most of us don't even know what it really is to fight for our lives. (an exception to this is of course, a good personal friend of mine and VsNYYC team member Hunter Durfee, who has not only beaten cancer once, but twice!). Just because we cant feel their pain doesn't mean that we cant help in the fight

Without making this sound any more cliche or corny (even though I really wasn't trying to mud this up and sincerely mean every word I'm typing), here's what I plan to do. I'm no super hero. I'm really not even much more than a guy that gets really passionate about what he holds dear to him. In a match against cancer I can do very little on my own. What i can do is attempt to rally up as many yoyo makers and throwers as possible for a chance to make a difference. What i can do is put "The Works" to work.

The concept on its own is very simple. you guys may have noticed that ive recently put up pretty freaking close to my entire collection up for sale. even with the prices as low as they are, these sales should generate roughly $3,000USD which i will then use to purchase raw yoyos from yoyo makers. (Donations are of course more than welcome, but i dont want anyone to let it even cross their minds that I'm looking to get yoyos out of this, so i do have the money and am willing to buy the yoyos first and foremost) Only one of each yoyo design will be purchased or accepted as donation. From there i will then have every yoyo anodized "The Works" colorway (or dyed if delrin) and auction off these Official 1 of 1 throws to the highest bidder. 100% of the $$$ made by this hopefully massive auction will then be donated to the National Cancer Institute for further research and development to finding better treatments, and hopefully a cure.

Every company that sells or donates a yoyo will get full recognition for their generosity on both this forum and on the letter included with the donation check to the NCI. This entire process will be photographed from the first raw yoyo arriving to the check being hand delivered to the NCI. Again, no one is being asked to give me anything.

I want to start the auctions the 1st of December, leaving plenty of time for everyone still. If we can make a phone that surfs the internet as fast as a cable modem, we can cure cancer.

I'm assuming that some are now asking "that's it? your going to auction off yoyos to fight cancer? couldn't you do more if you really care that much?". The answer is simple. One must test the waters before diving into something of this nature. I intend this to be the new VsNYYC and new yoyo community, but without starting out walking, I'm liable to fall. I know lots of you doubted me when i started VsNYYC, but through all but hell it seemed I made it happen. I have acknowledged that I cannot do this alone. All I can do is get the ball rolling.

This is happening, even if I'm the only one to do it.

Expect LOTS of updates OFTEN

This is a fantastic thing you're doing

Sounds pretty awesome. I don't suppose you could link a picture of something with said colorway on it already, could you? I'm sure I've seen it somehwere, but can't remember.
