YDC 81 Announcement

(Your Donation Counts)

Charity Auctions

24th – 28th September 2010

YDC charity auctions are held by the international eBid membership every month.
Our main aim is to raise as much money as we can, and have lots of fun along the way!
At the same time, we have a “friendly” competition to see which single auction raises the highest amount. The winning seller in this competition chooses which good cause to nominate for the following month’s competition.

As the winner of YDC80, Keepsakesbydesign has chosen:

Doctors Without Borders

as this month’s nominated charity.

Please come and join us with YDC81, everyone is welcome and -
YOUR DONATION COUNTS!

Hi all, recieved this email from Doctors without Borders.
Dear Dorothy,
Thank you very much for choosing Doctors Without Borders for your charity on your website. Your dedication to our work will help our volunteers provide emergency medical care to populations in distress irrespective of race, religion, or political affiliation. Thank you for getting involved, and for your support!

When the event is over, if you could send all donations to our address here in New York would be very helpful. Please put the envelope to the attention of my name, Charlie Kunzer and include a note indicating that it was in response to your fundraiser. The address is:

Doctors Without Borders
Attn Charlie Kunzer

New York, NY 10001-5004

As you may know, MSF is an international independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in nearly 70 countries. A private, nonprofit organization, MSF was founded in 1971 as the first non-governmental organization to both provide emergency medical assistance and bear witness publicly to the plight of people it assists. In 1999, MSF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Thank you so much for making us the beneficiary and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.


Kind Regards,
Charlie
