The Refuge - Auction to raise funds for animal welfare.

I was contacted by a friend the other day that helps run http://www.therefuge.org.uk/. I have copied the message I received as it explains what they do really well...
'The Refuge is an animal welfare and rehoming internet forum which has over 2,000 active members and in the last 2 years raised over £30,000 which went directly to different animal rescue charities and organisations, both in the UK and abroad. Our most successful fundraisers are online auctions, where members donate and bid for items with all proceeds going to rescue.
In order to try and make this auction as successful as possible and of course to benefit two very worthy causes, I am writing to ask whether you might be able to donate an item to our auction. No matter how big or small, all items donated will go a long way towards helping animals in need and by way of a thank you, we will of course publicise your company on the forum, we average 800 – 900 posts per day and around 2.8k page views per day which will rise considerably during the auction period. Our own members are donating items and all the staff on the forum are running the auction in their own time. '
I have just donated the glass necklace pictured above which will be in the auction. The auction starts on the 8th May: http://www.rykat.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=37864
I think this is such a great cause that I just had to blog about it. If you are interested in donating an item for their auction, I'm sure the people at The Refuge would love to hear from you.
