Many of you have probably seen this post out in blogland, but what the heck, I'm posting it here as well. You can click here to find out what's being auctioned off at Sharon Cullars eBay auction, including a classic Lisa Kleypas book - I think I might put my bid in for that one! So go forth and bid. Good luck :)

4th annual Brenda Novak Diabetes auction
Photobucket


No one wants to see a child suffer, which is why I always mark my calendar this time of year for this event every May. I hope this year is even bigger and better than it's been so far, and it's so easy to become involved. It's so touching to see how many people do step up to the plate and do what they can. That's all you can do. Join in the fun and help a very important cause.

From Brenda Novak's website:

Each year, I offer a fabulous prize package to the person who places the most bids over all (even if that person doesn’t end up winning a single item). This year, the prize package includes:
  • A brand new Camcorder (retail value of at least $1,000),

  • Your Name in My Next Book,

  • An autographed copy of TRUST ME (6/08--the first of The Last Stand series),

  • and Chocolate (lots of chocolate!)

**************

Some of the featured items up for auction are:
  • 6-day HAWAIIAN vacation package including airfare (courtesy of author Jane Porter)

  • 46" LCD HD Samsung TV from Frye's Electronics

  • Amazon Kindle & $100 Amazon gift card donated by K.M. Daughters

  • Editor for a Day at Kensington Publishing

Sounds pretty cool, huh?

Visit the auction here. It's going on for the entire month of May, but some auctions close earlier.


GOOD LUCK!

May 1st - May 31st: Brenda Novak's 2007 JDRF auction
Straight from Brenda Novak's site:
"At last! Brenda’s Third Annual On-line Auction for Diabetes Research is open. It runs just like E-Bay, but all the items have been donated, and all the money goes to help victims of a disease that is the fifth largest killer—diabetes.

You don’t have to put in any of your personal information (credit cards numbers, etc., in order to register and shop). When the auction is over, you simply pay by credit card (over the phone directly with the charity—JDRF), Paypal (a link will be provided in your invoice), or personal check (sent directly to JDRF). Your items will be sent to you as soon as you’ve paid. And, to make it even more exciting, the person who places the highest number of bids (whether that person actually wins any of the auction items or not) will be awarded a prize package that includes a brand new laptop computer and a digital camera. So bid early and bid often--that winner could be you!"
Go check it out, people!
