Now that you've seen The Avengers, how would you like to get a bunch of their gadgets and powers and become a hero yourself? No, you probably can't divert a missile safely into another dimension, or smash the god of mischief with your bare hands, but you could do the next best thing: own a custom-made, one-of-a-kind Avengers desk, and help needy children and families along the way!
But how is that possible, you ask? Here's how: Mark Hall, the lead singer of the award-winning Christian contemporary rock band Casting Crowns, is auctioning off his Marvel Superhero Desk and giving the proceeds to charity!
Hall, who is a collector of movie memorabilia in addition to being a great musical talent, previously did a similar auction with a Han Solo Carbonite desk, and is now doing the same with this Avengers one! The desk was custom-created by a company called Tom Spina Designs, and comes with a replica of Iron Man's helmet, a light-up arc reactor just like Tony Stark's, Thor's mighty hammer Mjolnir, a Captain America shield, a gamma vault, and Sgt. Nick Fury's gun, I.D., and badge. With all of its awesome, authentic accessories, this desk would be an amazing addition to the collection of any Avengers fan! The bidding for the desk has already begun and will continue through next Friday, July 13th—so if you want to be the owner of the desk with all these Avengers artifacts, you'd better act quickly! You can place your bid here!
The proceeds from the sale will go to World Vision's WASH program, which provides clean water to families in poverty. The money will be used to build wells with clean water, piping systems for watering crops, rainwater storage containers, purification equipment, and stations for protection of clean water for these families to help alleviate their suffering and sickness. Thousands of children in poverty die each day from diseases related to lack of clean water, but WASH and its resources aim to prevent that, which they will do with the proceeds from the Avengers desk.

Just because you're not a master spy, a hulking powerhouse, a super-soldier, a thunder god, or a genius billionaire inventor doesn't mean you can't still be a hero. There are lots of important things you can do to make a difference. You can pray for the children and families affected by disease and in need of clean water. You can donate time or money to WASH and other charitable causes. And you can place a bid on a unique, fully equipped Avengers desk that any collector would love to have!
