We are running a charity fundraising auction and sale to celebrate the life and work of René, with items priced starting at $5.00. Please check out further details here!
In honor of what would have been René’s 81st birthday (coming up on June 1), we’ve posted a few items on eBay that may be of interest to fans. Drop by and check out the details here. Thanks!
For many years, we have conducted auctions of René’s memorabilia and autographed items to celebrate his birthday. He would have been 80 on June 1, 2020, and in honor of the occasion we set up one final, blow-out sale that began in late May.
The major auction featured over 90 items, which were purchased by fans from all over the world. We had a few items that were unclaimed, and a few more that exist in multiple copies (such as a fanzine, and back issues of the ORACLE newsletter), and we will keep them available as fixed-price items while they last. You can visit this page for more details and updates.
Shortly before Thanksgiving 2019, René put together a “video thank you note”, celebrating some of the many fans who’ve come to see him at conventions and pick up an Odo’s Bucket cartoon to support René’s charity fundraising efforts.
René began using his autograph in the 1990s to raise money for Médecin San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders and other humanitarian organizations, and since then thousands of fans have participated in online auctions, in-person signings, and mail-order requests that René was always happy to fulfill. It wasn’t until René got active on Twitter (mid-20-tweens) that he started taking photos of generous donors, so those are the folks whose kindness is recognized here.
But to everyone who has ever bought an autograph or made a donation – thank you!
As the gift-giving holidays approached in 2019, we offered a number of items for the fans in your life that love René, Odo, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Thanks to everyone who participated – we raised over $600 over the course of two rounds of auctions. As always, after shipping costs, all money raised was donated to support the life-saving work of Médecin San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders.
We completed another of our eBay auctions of photos and memorabilia from René’s storeroom, for the purpose of raising money for the life-saving work of Médecin San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders.
Fans purchased 10 of the 13 items we posted in this round, raising close to $600 for MSF/DWB.
René enjoyed an amazing weekend October 19-21, 2018 at Destination Star Trek in Birmingham, United Kingdom. He drew over 250 of his Odo’s Bucket cartoons for generous fans who donated thousands of euros to support the worldwide, life-saving work of Médecin San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders!
An overall review of the convention has been posted on the StarTrek.com website. Enjoy!
In honor of René’s upcoming June 1 birthday, and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in late April we ran an eBay auction of an assortment of collectibles, some from René’s personal collection and others donated by fans, all to support the life-saving work of Médecin San Frontières/Doctors Without Borders.
Thanks to René’s generous fans, we raised over $600 for MSF/DWB with this auction. We truly appreciate all of you who participated!
As has become an annual tradition here at René’s Page, we invited fans to join us in celebrating René’s June 1 birthday with one of his favorite activities: raising money for Doctors Without Borders/Médecin San Frontières.
With two rounds of auction items sold, we say a sincere THANK YOU to all of the generous fans who participated in raising over $900 with their purchases!
If you aren’t a collector of autographed memorabilia but would like to honor René for his birthday (or any other occassion), consider directly supporting Doctors Without Borders, or some other charity that is close to your heart. Any questions? Just contact us. Thank you!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our fall auction of memorabilia and photographs to raise money for the life-saving work of Doctors Without Borders! We raised just over $600 through the generosity of René’s fans.
