Charity Auction!?

[Orions father]

If there is any "elder" board member or moderator that would like to take this on, I am sure it would garner much more support.

David -

Here's a suggestion.

1) Pick a charity. (I vote St Jude's)

2) Have members that want to participate list the cards in the B/S/T auction section with a common end date and **Charity Auction** note in the title.

3) Once the transaction is complete with each listing have the seller send one person the money.

4) Have the collector of the funds make the one contribution to the charity.

Even if participation is limited it's something and doesn't infringe upon anyone that doesn't want to participate.

I would be willing to donate our software free of charge. We have a charity site that could be set up in minutes to host the charity auction if desired.

I think it should be a children's charity. (St Jude's ???) But, I think we need to make sure that ALL of the money goes to the intended target of the charity...some of these charities out there have huge overhead and costs and very little of the money actually makes it to the intended target.

Dan that was my thinking exactly. This board seems to be very heavy with family oriented members and a children's charity would be fitting I think.

I'm not trying to hijack David's idea but want to volunteer as much of my efforts as possible to insure that as much if not all of the money raised goes to the charity.

Is a great charity. I would definitely vote for them as the organization to donate to. Another good charity to think about that benefits children is the Ronald McDonald House. Again, please email me when everything gets set up!

As I have 7 children, St. Jude's sounds great!

I organized the two previous Net54 charity auctions and would be happy to do so again. I stopped this year after politics got in the way with selecting a charity. It was just really frustrating.

I'm sure Heritage would let us sell through them again, or we can choose another auction house, or heck... B&L it up!
