Charity Auctions Page

Live Internet bidding has not only dramatically changed the way in which collectors purchase antiques, art and pop-culture memorabilia, it also has provided a new and open-ended avenue through which charitable and other nonprofit organizations can raise funds through auction events. Over the last 4 1/2 years, LiveAuctioneers has assisted many charities in bringing real-time Internet bidding to their auctions, often waiving the fees that ordinarily would have applied.

High-profile cooperative fundraisers with online bidding through LiveAuctioneers included the NFL Super Bowl “Bid for a Cause” auction, the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s “Fashion Targets Breast Cancer” auction, Free Arts NYC’s Portraits & Polaroids auction – offering a chance to bid on 20 x 24 inch Polaroids by world renowned artists, as well as Little Kids Rock – a benefit honoring the late Darrell Abbott of Pantera and featuring dozens of celebrity-designed electric guitars. Each of these auctions contained unique, autographed celebrity items that could not be obtained through any other means. And in each case, proceeds went straight to nonprofit agencies that work to fulfill the needs of less-fortunate individuals and communities both here and abroad.
