Bubel Aiken Fundraisers - Part 4 - Ebay Auction Fundraiser Will End on October 13

For the last couple of weeks or so, the Beta Alpha Group, Aiken Breakin' Broads Remembering Inclusion, have hosted an Ebay fundraiser to raise money for The Bubel Aiken Foundation. This fundraiser called Ebay Auction Remembering Inclusion, has raised over $900 (before Ebay fees and Paypal fees)so far. After fees are taken out, the total is probably closer to $700. Our hope is to clear $1000 for BAF by October 13 and we need your help.

Above is a picture of some of the items we have to offer as of the writing of this article. Some of the members of our Beta Alpha group have donated their own items for the auction. Before Friday, October 5, more items will be added to the auction and we will add for the next couple of days until our time to be able to add runs out. The store "rent" with Ebay comes to an end on October 13 so all auctions must be ended by then.

We hope that you will come by the store and bid on some of our items. We have had lots of good comments about the items we have had to offer, and the beginning bids are quite reasonable. So come check out our auction and help us reach that net figure of $1000 for BAF and the 2008 Summer Camps. Our store link is:

Thank you very much.

"eBay Auction Remembering Inclusion" - Approved BAF Fundraiser Raising Funds For BAF's 100 Camps

There are so many great fundraisers that have been going on for a while now. A lot of the Beta Alpha groups are raising funds for The Bubel Aiken Foundation's "Let All Play" program by selling watches, necklaces, keychains, and much more so that 100 camps can become a reality in 2008.

The Beta Alpha Group, "Aiken Breakin Broads Remembering Inclusion" began an approved BAF fundraiser just for that purpose about a week ago. The fundraiser, "Ebay Auction Remembering Inclusion" is raising money by auctioning items on EBay that belong to the group's members. A store which has been named "Aiken Breakin Remembering Inclusion" has been set up at Ebay so that all items being auctioned are in one location. The auction is set up exactly like any auction on Ebay is. Already, the group has raised close to $500 in a week by selling items such as those in the picture above, including jewelry, games, toys, books, DVD's, Christmas decorations, and household items. More items are being added to the store at an almost daily basis, so you should "come over and come often" to the store and check out what is still open for auction and what new items have been added since you last looked. The prices are great, and the final price is determined by your bidding. 100% of the proceeds, less Ebay and Paypal fees, will go to The Bubel Aiken Foundation.

The link below will take you to the "Aiken Breakin Remembering Inclusion" Store. Save it to your favorite places so you can "Come Browse, Bid, and Buy for BAF"!
