ebay Live Auctions in November - Benefit Rotary!

Ebay logo

Rotary members, their families and friends can support Rotary’s work by bidding on antiques, artwork, jewelry, and collectibles through eBay Live Auctions events.

Each month, Rotary will promote on its social media outlets a set of upcoming s events, and eBay, the world’s largest auction website, will donate a portion of all sale proceeds from those events to Rotary.

Live Auctions events enable buyers to participate in auctions across the United States — held at such auction houses as Sotheby’s, Swann, and Freeman’s — without leaving home. Under this proceeds-sharing agreement, only U.S. auction sales are eligible.

Proud to be with the Vietnam Soccer Ball Project leadership committed to ending human trafficking in Vietnam and distributing the virtually indestructible no pump required, Rotary branded soccer ball to the world. Damn right I'm proud. Be the change.
