good idea, but i agree with ctaylor that several smaller auctions would raise more money for several different charities. Times are still tuff for a lot of people so smaller auctions would allow more people to participate. We could also reverse the process, rather than have the bidder choose the charity, the auctioner could name the charity the auction would benefit. there are a lot of different things that could be done, all i know is that i support any auctions for childerns charity. And charity will take any donations no matter who they are from, may just request it to be made annonamously
