Charities offer thousands of unique items to raise funds for meaningful causes

CAMBRIDGE, MA - November 19, 2007 - Giving is what the holidays are all about, right? Now what if there were a way to avoid battling the mall crowds, frantic parking lots, and give to a host of great nonprofit causes while at the same time finding that perfect gift? Now, there is: www.BiddingForGood.com.

BiddingForGood.com features more than 13,000 unique items for all budgets and tastes while contributing to a worthy cause, from feeding hungry children to buying textbooks to saving the Earth.

"Online fundraising auctions are the most pleasurable way to purchase gifts at great prices," said Jon Carson, Founder and CEO of cMarket, the parent company for BiddingForGood. "We've found that online shoppers are looking for a way to give back, too - especially during the holidays. The auctions are fun, full of great products and hold some terrific bargains all while making a charitable donation."

From a bottle of fine wine to an exotic vacation package, there's something for everyone. Shoppers can easily search by hot auction items, charity or geography to find the perfect gift for that someone special on their holiday list.

Some of the items currently available online on BiddingForGood.com include: An autographed Red Sox baseball from World Series MVP Mike Lowell, tickets to a Hannah Montana concert, Tiffany jewelry, iPods and even a trip to the Kentucky Derby, to name a few.
