One of my guilty pleasures is spending a few minutes every week reviewing the current auctions at CharityBuzz.com. The company’s motto is “Do Good. Live Well.” and they bring that philosophy to the curated experiences on auction.
Auctions run the gamut and include celebrity meet-and-greets with the likes of Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga, one-on-one sessions and internships with business leaders like Richard Branson and Russell Simmons, and bespoke travel travel deals that range from a visit to Base Camp at Mount Everest to luxury beach vacations to ski lodge getaways.
Numerous charities partner with CharityBuzz, including the American Red Cross, City Harvest, Doctors Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, Michael J. Fox Foundation, North Shore Animal League, Oxfam International, and many others.
