let’s get the bidding started!!

From The Heart Auctions is proud to be partnering up with one of our long time supporters imagine gnats and new partner Casa Crafty to bring some relief to the town heard round to the world, Newtown, Connecticut.
Along with the rest of the… nation, our hearts broke on December 14th when a crazed gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School killing 20 first graders and 6 teachers. Like many others, we felt compelled to help in any way possible.
From The Heart Auctions has an honorable reputation in helping those in need. We are trusted by many boutiques and bidders promising and proving all funds raised by our auctions go directly to our beneficiaries. We are happy to be partnering with imagine gnats and Casa Crafty, hosting an auction where 100% of funds raised will go to Newtown Parent Connection.
Bidding for this auction will be live through 10 pm EST on January 18.

Thank you for doing this very lovely thing for those lost. Sounds like you raised a lot of money.
Such a great cause. I am sorry I missed it. Thank you for doing such a great thing. Every little bit helps.
Such a horriofic event. This is a great idea, although I am nervous about auctions.
This auction is a little different. On Facebook you just list the amount you want to pledge and your e-mail address (you can private message it if you feel better about that) on the item you want to purchase/win and you will be sent a PayPal invoice if you win the bid. I hope you will consider participating. There are some great items and it goes to a terrific cause.
This is such a lovely idea…I will be checking it out. Thank you for doing this. Oh…he also killed his mother, another innocent victim.
