 Stories of Hope  
The power of the Community to drive positive change in our world is awe-inspiring.

"The generosity of the eBay Community was overwhelming, beyond our expectations. We received many touching emails from those who had been looking for a way to give back, and they decided this was a win-win opportunity. We look forward to making this a yearly tradition as we raise awareness as well as funds to find a cure for prostate cancer."

- Debbie Bohnett, Chief Operating Officer, Prostate Cancer Foundation

"eBay Giving Works gave Save the Children and our corporate partners a fantastic vehicle to raise funds for our programs. Great exposure, fantastic reach, and substantial contributions to do what we do best: Help children."

- Lori Redmer, AVP Global Corporate Partnerships, Save the Children

"We have had tremendous success with our fundraising efforts on eBay. To date we have raised more than $1M to help create a healthier life for children worldwide. We are thrilled that eBay has launched a new program dedicated to nonprofits and look forward to enhancing our fundraising efforts through eBay Giving Works."

- Kate Carr, President & CEO, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation

"The Preschool Project conducted an eBay auction in 2003 and was delighted to raise $5,000 that enabled us to operate two Parent-Child Playgroups, one in English and one in Spanish. This money was particularly important this year, as two of the Bilingual Parenting Program's long standing funders changed their priorities away from Parent Support, thereby threatening the existence of the program. With this new fundraising venue, we were able to keep the program alive!"

- Amy Gendall, Executive Director, Development Director, The Preschool Project

"The American Red Cross Virtual Auction harnesses the technology of the Internet to advance our fund-raising techniques. It is a time-effective way to fundraise while minimizing direct expenses. We are pleased with the success and look forward to growing the event in the coming years."

- Jim Hamilton, CEO, American Red Cross Serving King and Kitsap Counties (State of Washington)

"eBay Giving Works has given the National MS Society and our donors a new, exciting way to help fight MS. Our participants, donors, and clients are enthusiastic about the new program and eager to use it to make a difference."

- Joyce Nelson, CEO, National Multiple Sclerosis Society

"The Points of Light store on eBay has given us an exciting new venue for turning donations that were heretofore unusable items into much needed financial support and awareness. The unrestricted revenues we have gained through this effort have been invaluable to our mission of expanding volunteering across the country."

- Robert Goodwin, President and CEO, Points of Light Foundation
