"We believe that cause marketing on eBay continues to be one of the most effective ways for celebrities to give back to their fans and raise a great deal of money for worthy causes like Liberty Hill," commented Eric Gazin, President of Auction Cause. "In an age where there is so much less than flattering news stories circulating about those in entertainment, people really like to bid to join their favorite celebrity in raising funds and awareness for such great nonprofits," he added.
Liberty Hill also is thrilled with the opportunity to tap into a revenue and marketing opportunity during a time when fundraising is challenging.
"What we raise on eBay will directly support our efforts to advance equality in California. It will support our efforts to direct new green investments in communities that have suffered devastating disinvestment, and it will be invested in community leaders. The next generation. The young people who - inspired by President Obama - are standing in line to become community organizers. And change the world!" remarked Liberty Hill President Kafi Blumenfield.
