I’m far from a creative writer, so this will be a little cut and dry, but I think the project I’m about to expound on is a wonderful idea and am hoping to turn a few more heads in its direction:

:iconchinaearthauction:



Summary


A friend and fellow community member, ~poftd, has put together a charity auction to benefit disaster relief (more information below).  The auction features 23 different artists:

:iconpoftd: :iconneneno: :iconbenjiih: :iconartisticxheart: :iconcruzle: :iconkoyamori: :iconcbernie: :iconpidies: :iconrustveld: :iconsalice-is-an-idiot: :iconfriends4ever1221: :iconboxno: :iconsoraobsession: :iconcatzzzrule: :iconnaguri: :iconartistic-defiance: :iconhakuku: :iconlinachannn: :iconchupachup: :iconerina: :iconweisen1: :iconcelectis: :iconchocosweete: :iconamadeur: :iconpyropanda:

The auction will be divided into four batches featuring 6 artists each, and bidding will begin at $25 with $1 minimum bid increases.  The bid ladders provided will indicate what type of art is being offered in each price range.  

The first auction has already begun <a href=”[link]>here</a>.

Featured in this batch are
:iconboxno: :iconkoyamori:  :iconpoftd: :iconartisticxheart: :iconnaguri: and :iconlinachannn:

This auction ends at 10 PM PST June 27, 2008.

They are all wonderful artists donating their time for a good cause, so it is definitely worth checking out.  ;P


The Cause


The proceeds of this auction will be donated to Gleaning for the World:

Gleaning for the World is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-saving support to communities in critical need throughout the world. They basically provide medical and essential supplies to humanitarian projects worldwide. According to Charity Navigator, 99.7% of Gleaning for the World's funds go towards its programs. Donation-wise, we are planning to donate under the specification of "disaster relief", so as to help more than simply one area. At the moment, the organization's focus is on Myanmar.”

More information on the rules and legalities of this project can be found <a href=”[link]>here.


In Closing...


All of the artists involved in this project are donating their free time and energy to this, so we’d love to be able to give as much as we can for the time spent!  We appreciate any interest, all bids, and any help spreading the world.  Thank you for reading!

Thank you to our current bidders, and many thanks to :iconpoftd: for organising a wonderful charity project.  :heart:
