Founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) Robert L. Johnson is the brainchild behind this online auction site where celebrity and corporate giving means the rest of us get to cash in on star-studded memorabilia, luxury vacations, A-list concerts, rare artwork, high-end fashion and more and feel good about it.
“ClubCharity.com takes charitable giving to a new level, making it easier than ever for anyone, anywhere to find incredibly unique and exciting auction items online, while generously donating to so many important causes,” said newest celebrity donor Vernon Wells.
The Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder recently donated a Toronto Blue Jays helmet, not only signed by him but also smothered in Swarovski crystals. Proceeds from the helmet will benefit Vernon Wells’ Perfect 10 Foundation, which aids single mothers and their children.
Ultimately, ClubCharity.com enables charities, corporations and affiliates to converge through an online platform in a joint aid effort – where each partner can seamlessly collaborate, promote and brand the same auction across multiple Websites. Users, through their online auction purchases, end up supporting a good cause.
There’s also charitybuzz, an auction charity site that offers “experiences” with celebrities or events (like the first pitch at a Marlins game) as well as physical goods (like a Custom Vintage Style Poster of Your Pet – huh?). Auctions could range from $500 to $5,000 but the money goes to reputable charities and it’s tax-deductible. A win-win.
Visit ClubCharity.com or charitybuzz to start your bid to give and to get.
