Cookie Brigade - The noms are coming!

Starting in 2007, the Cookie Brigade began a mission to give cookies in exchange for donations to Child's Play, the charity started by Mike and Jerry that provides entertainment to kids in children's hospitals (and has recently expanded into domestic violence shelters as well.) Since then, we've raised over $215,000 for Child's Play!
During our inaugural PAX Aus we raised $5,000 - I asked you guys to help us smash that, and you know what? YOU DID! Last year at PAX Aus we raised over $22,000! Now we need your help to do it again!
The Cookie Brigade is made up of three awesome groups of people. Our bakers who provide tasty noms for the many attendees of PAX; Our distributors who will show up where they're least expected to distribute noms; and our organizers, who keep our top secret HQ working smoothly.
If you're not already registered on the Cookie Brigade website please do so ASAP! If you are a first time brigadier please register on our forums and then apply to be a brigadier. Note: You just need an active registration on the forums for access to the application form.

BASIC BRIGADE GUIDELINES
1. We give out cookies, we do not sell cookies! We do happily pass donations along to Child's Play, so feel free to give us donations if you want.
2. Keep it PG and family friendly. We love to give cookies out to kids and as such we ask all brigadiers to remain family friendly with their cookies (sorry no dickerdoodles) and distributing activities!
3. Have fun and enjoy PAX!

It takes all types - it doesn't matter if you are introverted or extroverted, we take anyone! As Aeryn said, if you don't want to assist during PAX, but think you can bake up a storm, please let us know!
It also doesn't take up a lot of time - I did a heap of work last year for CB, but also had time to play in the BYOD area, spent countless hours wandering the expo halls, saw many of the panels. I was also able to make some great friends and met loads of new people.
So the Cookie Brigade has been powering on gathering recruits to bake and distribute delicious cookie goodness at PAX - BUT WE NEED MORE! MORRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE! MUHAHAHH!!!!!! *ahem* yes. Sorry about that.
If you would like to chat with thousands of your fellow con attendees and do some wonderful work for charity at the same time, please sign up to the forum listed above and let us know if you intend to either bake or would like to distribute for the event.
If you can't assist this year, but would like to donate towards supplies for us to bake more, there is a go fund me where you can make a donation http://www.gofundme.com/paxauscookiebrigade to assist us make more for Child's Play and give a bit of a brighter day to sick and mistreated kids around the world.
Thanks!
Words fail me...you guys....
*sniff*
I bet a fair bit of that is from pins
We had approximately 3-4000 cookie/fudge/lollie/slices items for which I got at least $1 but more often a handful of gold or $5 note.
So a lot of distributing, of noms and shineys!
Maybe someone can do the same thing for CB at the other paxen

I plan to fix that this year. OM NOM NOM
I will be baking cupcakes for the trivia night.
I will be making gaming themed cookies and cupcakes, and am looking for ideas. I'm thinking Mario, Pacman, Space Invaders - something recogniseable but easy. Anyone have some ideas?
Idk about lemmings because it's pretty obscure nowadays and duck hunt is also pretty old
Tetris on the other hand.... Count me in for some tetromino cookies
Second, I made some choc rice krispy square "Minecraft" dirt blocks, for my nieces birthday recently, cheap ingredients, no baking, just refrigeration.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys can do this year! Bring on the cookies, and bring on the help!
