Charity Auction
Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Years, Also a re cap on Charity & Donations work!
Dec 23rd
So it is that time of year again where every one is in party mode, yet at the same time I want to make a note that at Christmas time its is a time of treating yourself yet it is also a good time to give. Recently I have had people very close to me come down with cancer so it is a cause which is very close to me. At the same time I want to wish every one a Merry Christmas I also want to let people know about two great charities 1. Camp Quality – Kids with cancer www.campquality.org.au/ 2. McGrath Foundation – Breast Cancer research. http://www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au/
A few days ago I sold off two charity items and we collected close to $71 for McGrath Foundation -
Christmas cancer appeal
Earlier this year we ran an auction of a 1000th Tweet an raised $60 http://jamesnorquay.com/seo-charity-auction-comes-to-an-end-with-60-au-donated-to-charity/
So please try and dig deep this Christmas for charity if you can, but overall have a great Christmas all and have a fantastic 2012, I have taken off some time from the 23rd December to the 9th of January, so I will be taking it easy for a few days.
Merry Christmas:

Nov 23rd
Hi All,
I recently auctioned off a Tweet on Twitter and a few other search Goodies here – http://jamesnorquay.com/seo-charity-auction-comes-to-an-end-with-60-au-donated-to-charity/, We ended up raising over $60 from the Tweet for Camp Quality.
Now I said I would run another auction to raise more money for charity, I wanted to scale up the charity auctions this time so I decided to auction off a few various items and donate 100% of proceeds to charity. The charity I have selected which is close to me is the McGrath Foundation for Breast Cancer.
Now here are the 4 links to the various eBay auctions all ending over the next 6-7 days.
Item 1 - Facebook F8 Conference gift, if any one is into collecting Facebook related items this is the item for you! This is not something you can buy from the shops!

SEO Charity Auction comes to an end, with $60 AU donated to charity.
Aug 30th
So 6 days ago I decided to run a bit of a charity auction to raise some money for kids with cancer, I decided to go with Camp Quality as it supports both parents of kids with cancer and also kids with cancer.
I threw in a few SEO goodies which I had picked up recently to help aid the good cause.
The Auction started here:
People started tweeting and talking about the auction on various channels as below -
Charity-Auction Twitter
When the auction came to an end we saw Dejan SEO take out the bidding.
charity-auction1
Overall the Auction was a good success, we were able to Raise a totall of $60 = $46 of that been the Auction winnings from Dejan SEO and I had a cash donation of $10 from a mate of mine Beaudon Also I chipped in another $4 to make it $60 in total =).
(below is proof of the donation, from a web screen shot, I cut out 2 sections some personal info)
Campquality
So overall a great result, was hoping to get a bit more but in the end of the day I am happy with the amount, I am sure it will help Camp Quality in some way.
If you want to make a personal donation to Camp quality here is the link: http://www.campquality.org.au/public/how-you-can-help/donate.aspx
