Jewelers for the Gulf.
Chris Hierholzer and Patsy Croft are putting together a fund for the families in Louisiana who have been directly affected by the Oil Spill. I know you have seen what is happening here in our neighborhoods. Many people are in need of help.
We’ve organized a Charity Auction on eBay Giving Works that will take place during the months of September and October for which a number of jewelry artists have already donated one of their pieces to be auctioned off. We are looking for more artists to contribute pieces to the auction.
Auction link
Here are the details:
- All pieces must be donated. 100 percent of the proceeds from each auction will go to Louisiana’s Second Harvest Food Bank, which has seen an increase in patrons since the oil spill first happened.
- If you would like to participate, please send us a quality photograph of a jewel you would like to donate, attach your name to the image file, send a description of your item and retail price with a link to your website (if applicable) asap. If you have a mini bio, please send that as well, since many consumers like to “meet the artist” that they are purchasing from.
- There will be little hassle for your involvement, and all listings will mention the generous donations from each participating artist, which will likely drive traffic back to your website. We can also provide a “Giving Works” badge that you can put on your site to point people to your auction item.
- Once your item has been bid on and the auction closes, all you’ll have to do is ship the item to the highest bidder. eBay Giving Works will take care of handling all payments. I will contact you with shipping details.
- We will be promoting the auction through various PR activities to generate consumer interest in the auction items and recognition for all of the artists who donate.
Thanks for your consideration. Please let us know if you have any questions.
