Let the bidding commence!
I (and many other bloggers) have been talking a lot about The Great Fundraising Act lately. Susan, a blogging friend, has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. In an effort to raise money for her cause, we are all coming together for Susan. If you’d like to read more about her story on her blog, you can click here.

Well, today is the day for The Great Fundraising Act!
From 8:00 AM (EST) to 11:00 PM (EST) the online blogger auction and bake sale will be taking place.
Part One: Blogger Live Auction & Bake Sale
To see a list of the blogger baked goods that are available, click on the link below:
The Auction (<–click here!)
There are hundreds of items to bid on, and I have donated a batch of my Pumpkin Maple Quinoa Granola and a $25 Trader Joe’s gift card (<–direct link) which you’ll have a chance to bid on .
In addition to some amazing baked goods, several companies have generously offered amazing gift baskets and packages up for bid. Here’s just a few of these blogger-favorite companies are:
- Annie’s
- Bob’s Red Mill
- Chobani
- Larabar
- Love Grown Foods
- NuNaturals
- Peanut Butter & Co
- Physique57
Part Two: Direct Monetary Donations
The second part of The Great Fundraising Act is for those who would like to make a monetary donation. Many have expressed interest, so a direct donation account has been set up.
You can use PayPal, a bank account or any major credit card to donate to The Great Fundraising Act, simply by clicking below.
***All proceeds from the auction will go directly to Susan***
This blogging community is something I feel so honored to be a part of — and by being a reader, you are part of it as well, blogger or not. Susan deserves to get better and get in remission as quickly as possible without the added stress of medical bills, and I hope you’ll take a part in this opportunity to help another blogger out.
PS — Thanks to Courtney for letting me have some of her wording/set up for this post so it could get up quicker to get the word out!
