Cool Auctions & Items - Volume XXII
Announcing our relationship last week with United Way of America was really cool (thanks to all who dropped me notes about it)...but what's as cool is seeing all these amazing and different organizations - big, small, national, local - using cMarket to do really important stuff...like marketing their cause and raising more money.
So I'm sitting here, poking around auctions and bidding on things (here's the dirty secret about being the founder of cMarket - I'm not sure I can afford to keep working here, there are so many great things in these auctions and I keep buying stuff. :-) and I thought I'd share some of the auctions and some of the items I've been looking at.
Dwight Hall Center for Public Service and Justice at Yale
http://dwighthallauction.cmarket.com
I bid on "A pair of tickets for Shakespeare in Central Park!" - always wanted to go, never have, perfect opportunity. Look for it under 'Shows' in the category listing.
Marin Catholic Parents' Association
http://marincatholic.cmarket.com
If I was in Marin, I'd be bidding on "Keep Your Car Clean for a Year!". Look for it under 'ALL NEW ITEMS'.
Menlo School
http://menloauction.cmarket.com
Because I travel so much, I'm always looking in auctions for restaurants and 'experiences'. The 'Montalvo Food and Wine Classic' in the Menlo School auction would be terrific...but I'm not sure I can be in Saratoga on May 1. Look for it under 'Entertainment/Leisure'.
Miami Children's Hospital Foundation
http://mchfoundation2.cmarket.com
These folks...I just love them. Miami Children's was one of our first customers and they're back for their 3rd or 4th auction with us. I'm in Miami all the time, so why not bid on 'BAM!' which is a gift certificate for Emeril Lagasse's restaurant in Miami Beach. See, I told you I'm always looking for stuff that lines up with my travel. In this case they had 'Buy Now' enabled so I just grabbed it - it was under 'Dining'.
Seven Hills Foundation
http://sevenhills.cmarket.com
This is a great organization in Worcester (west of Boston) helping children and adults with disabilities. I bid on 'Home Computer Tune UP by Blueflame Computer Service' - you'll find it under 'Computers'. I have a desktop at home that's sorely in need of help.
The Market Foundation
http://marketfoundation.cmarket.com
And this one was a no-brainer...I'm in Seattle on Thursday, June 9th for our seminar series (I'm running around the country doing two hour sessions on how cMarket can help your nonprofit auction) and 'The Pink Door' is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. This item is listed under 'Market' in their catalog.
As we say at cMarket - Bid early! Bid often!
