eBay's Giving Works

With eBay Giving Works, you can turn your listings into a force for good. All it takes is listing an item on eBay and donating 10%-100%* of the final sale price to the certified nonprofit of your choice. And when you do, you provide much needed financial support for a worthy cause!

How do these things sound?

Stand out from the crowd with a charity ribbon icon in search results
Attract new buyers and make current buyers even more loyal
Inspire buyers to bid up the price
Receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donations
Get a pro-rated fee credit when your item sells

* As little as 5% for vehicle categories in eBay Motors

Get SKIP Stuff on eBay!

As a test-run we have also placed a few SKIP shirts and Military Appreciation Bears on eBay. So, now's your chance to possibly snag one of these great gift ideas at an even better price! But, please remember that eBay is an auction site and we do not control who bids or how high the price might end up. All we can do is encourage you to not miss out on this wonderful opportunity.

The Singing Trooper

July 30, 2008 - Village Green Concert, Avon, MA
The performer is Daniel Clark "The Singing Trooper" and the show begins at 6:30 pm. Special Kindness In Packages will have a booth set-up during the performance to hand out information and sell military appreciation teddy bears and SKIP t-shirts. We are looking for volunteers to help at this event. If you have never had the opportunity to hear Daniel Clark perform this would be an excellent time to multitask; help the organization you love and watch a wonderful performance.
