With the Holiday Season Just Around the Corner, BiddingForGood is giving lots of Reasons to Splurge this Year… and to Feel Good about It
Where can you find 2 VIP tickets to 2010 NY Fashion Week, a Paul McCartney autographed Beatles Rock band guitar, and lunch with the Mayor of Providence all while supporting a good cause? The place is BiddingForGood, an online auction platform solely for organizations engaged in fundraising for nonprofit causes. BiddingForGood has been offering consumers unique experiences on their shopping portal for years and have raised over $70 Million doing just that.
In an economic tailspin, one might be trying to find reasons to splurge this holiday season without the guilt. BiddingForGood can offer hundreds of reasons. Breast Cancer Research, the Arts and local school fundraising auctions, to name a few, are all housed under the BiddingForGood name.
Consumers love that they can find unique travel items and gift certificates to their favorite restaurants all year long on this online auction platform. But there is something special about finding that truly hard to find Marc Jacobs bag while shopping on this site during the holidays. You know that feeling after sipping mom’s hot apple cider, spiked of course? Those who shop on this site may find the warm fuzzy feeling to be quite similar.
With the holiday season quickly sneaking upon us, BiddingForGood employees have jumped in full swing with the announcement of their own annual holiday auction. Every year, the company chooses an organization that is near and dear to their hearts…and believe me, there are many! But this year, the decision was a little easier to make with the recent diagnosis of Breast Cancer of one of their employees and friends. Their auction, supporting Mass General Hospital’s ESSCO Fund for Breast Cancer Research will open in Nov and run through Dec, just in time to snag great items for the gifting season.
However, this auction will be just one of the many holiday auctions to be opening up on the platform this season. Auctions, supporting a wide array of causes, will have more items than ever including hard to find sporting events such as Red Sox vs. Yankees tickets, entertainment tickets, exotic trips to Equador and Mexico, celebrity meet and greet packages, Spa Botox treatments and much, much, more! Known as the “eBay for charity auctions”, BiddingForGood has become the number one portal to find luxury items while supporting a cause. www.biddingforgood.com
