Zombie Apocalypse II “Cancer fears the D!” Charity Fundraiser Details

Do you like zombies and hate cancer? If so, then ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE II "Cancer fears the D!" is an event you'd likely dig. Taking place in Detroit at the Tangent Gallery/Hastings Street Ballroom on June 28th, this event benefits the American Cancer Society via The Walking Hope. In addition to an abundance of entertainment for a good cause, fans of AMC's The Walking Dead should be really excited by one of the items up for auction at the fundraiser.

While enjoyers of the The Walking Dead have been able to get autographs from a good amount of the cast over the past year or so at conventions, even the most die-hard fans would be hard-pressed to get an item signed by 25 people affiliated with the hit AMC show. Perhaps the most prized possession at the upcoming ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE II, The Walking Hope hoodie features the signatures of 25 people from The Walking Dead universe, including Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese), Scott Wilson (Hershel), Jon Bernthal (Shane), and even video game voicer Melissa Hutchison (Clementine from TWD game). Bidding for The Walking Hope hoodie begins at $500.00 at the event's live auction, but if you can't make it, don't despair: you can bid in the comments section on the Facebook page for ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE II. We have more details on The Walking Hope hoodie and full details of the entire fundraiser (which includes live music, belly dancers, artists, and much more) for you to check out:
