In a world-first event, War Child UK and Children in Conflict launch an exclusive digital fundraising campaign, Gathering for Good, offering fans of Magic: The Gathering and Doctor Who a rare opportunity to win signed Magic cards featuring iconic characters from the hit show.
Until 13th October, UK and US fans can enter for a chance to own cards autographed by stars such as Carey Mulligan (Sally Sparrow), Billie Piper (Rose Tyler), Mandip Gill (Yasmin Khan), and three legendary incarnations of The Doctor, played by David Tennant, Peter Capaldi, and Jodie Whittaker.
Alongside the prize draw, the global community of dedicated fans can also bid for signed cards and special memorabilia donated by celebrity supporters that will be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to support the vital work of War Child and Children in Conflict.
The campaign kicked off with a teaser from actor and War Child Global Ambassador Carey Mulligan on 27th September. With over 200K views, the video has ignited a flurry of excitement across social media. The Magic: The Gathering community - estimated to include around 50 million players – and high-profile content creators, has been abuzz with speculation since, fueling anticipation for the official launch.
