Jumping on the sig-selling bandwagon, this is an auction for my signature here for October in aid of WarChild - a charity helping kids that really need help.

The winner can put anything they like in my signature (within WickedFire rules), up to 1000 characters, minus about 30 I want to keep to refer back to this thread. At the mo I've got just under 1500 posts - I waste too much time here! (Prob over 10 posts per day on average.) Most threads are indexed and ranking in Google for lots of random shit!

The auction will run until the 28th September, 7pm EST (Midnight GMT). You get my sig from 1st to 31st October.

Just post your bid below, if you'd prefer to bid in private pm me and I'll post it confidentially. A credit card payment direct to WarChild would be the best method of payment (tax deductible charity donation? :)) but something else could be worked out if needed.

Why WarChild?

I heard about them about 10 years ago when I bought this cd (some great covers on there). They do some really good work. They are a relatively small charity but are really making a difference to children who's lives have been fucked up through no fault of their own. There are so many charities and organisations out there doing a hell of a lot of good stuff and most would put any donation to good use. These guys help kids where needed around the world, not just in one country and aren't politically or religiously affiliated - hopefully it's something we can generally agree is a good cause.

One and a half million children have been killed in armed conflicts throughout the world over the last ten years. Four million children have been disabled in these conflicts. Many millions more, themselves traumatised, have had their communities destroyed, or have been denied the opportunity to celebrate in full their childhood and prevented from developing the livelihood skills that they will need to live fulfilling lives as they grow.

War Child's beliefs

War Child believes that children should never be the victims of armed conflict. For those children who become victims of armed conflict, War Child believes that their security and access to quality health, education and recreational facilities and services should still be a right and that, wherever possible, they should benefit from the love and care of their families and communities.

War Child's Mission

By harnessing the commitment to the commonly held belief that children should never be the victims of armed conflict, War Child exists to:
  • provide emergency relief to children and those people they depend upon in areas of armed conflict.
  • protect children who live in areas of armed conflict.
  • address the on-going consequences of conflict on children.
War Child does this by:
  • working with local communities, their organisations and local authorities in both conflict and post-conflict areas to support children and the people they depend upon.
  • ensuring sustainable security for children.
  • promoting child supportive livelihood opportunities.
  • addressing the developmental needs of the most vulnerable and marginalised children.

If anyone else plans on doing something similar could we agree not to run auctions at the same? I'd rather shorten this one than compete for the bulging wallets of all the philanthropists here!

Not that it's got many readers but I'll also post this on my blog - TheLazyHippy.com - some time soonish and send anyone here. If you guys don't bid I might even advertise on DP! :Yahoo_29:

Cheers for reading this... now get bidding!
 


I see no bids yet, also no minimum to start...

I'll start at $25

This is a noble cause and I commend you for doing such a thing.

... As long as this doesn't turn into a WF of Sally Struthers type thing :-)

Cheers for bidding, guys.... keep it up! :D

As I've just realised I won't be around on the 28th (Affiliate Summit), it'll now close on Sat the 29th (same time, Midnight GMT, 7pm EST, 1am on the 30th BST).
 
Sorry guys, this might have to be cancelled. It appears that the forum changes taking affect next month are likely to restrict signature links.

I'll update this as soon as that has been confirmed.
 
Auction cancelled due to forum changes which seem likely to affect signatures.

Thanks for the interest, I'll post this again when the situation has been clarified.
