BB2G Auction

I'm with The Band

It’s that time again! Band Back Together is holding another fund-raiser auction. You won’t believe all the fabulous items up for bid!

Proceeds from the auction will go towards website server costs and community outreach projects.

Head over to the auction site, check out all the great stuff, then if you see something you just have to have, leave your bids in the comment sections. Bidding is only open for a week, so check back often.

Here is the bracelet I donated for the auction:

Garnet and hematite, with guitar accent to show everyone you're with The Band

Week 8: 365 Project

I took a Mulligan (it being Leap Year and all), and published  a 365 Project photo that wasn’t taken on THE day I posted it. It was still taken this week. In my defense, I did take a photo on the day in question, even sent it to another site for posting later, but won’t post it here until then.

I'm with the Band

Last year, I donated a handmade necklace to the Band Back Together fundraising auction. For this year’s BB2G auction, I’m donating a handmade bracelet. If you’re not familiar with BB2G, go check it out. It’s a loving, supportive community for people  - of all ages – dealing with abuse, addiction, mental disorders and for the people who love them. Proceeds from the auction will help cover expenses for non-profit status filing, and community outreach projects.

Auction items will be posted on March 26. Until then, you’ll just have to wait to see this amazing and unique piece of jewelry. Then I expect everyone to go into a bidding frenzy to own it… and to help BB2G of course.

(Guidelines for donating items to the auction can be found here: BB2G Auction. Monetary donations are also always welcome.)

With a little help from my friends…

Band Back Together, a community created by Aunt Becky of Mommy Wants Vodka fame, if you haven’t already heard, is a safe haven for anyone needing support and comfort when faced with seemingly overwhelming struggles. Whether it’s a personal conflict, or something you’re facing as a caregiver, BB2G is a place where you can share your stories, where you can feel not so alone, and get some amazing, non-judgemental feedback and help.

You’ll meet others there going through the same things you are, who have come through the fire stronger and wiser.

The website also offers a plethora of resources on a staggering array of subjects, and most recently has added a whole library of go-to links for teens ranging from cyberbullying to eating disorders, to mental health issues, to losing a loved one.

The Band is now going through the process of establishing non-profit status. To that end, an auction is being organized to help off-set the registration costs.

Guess what's awesome? THIS (details for how to get into the fundraising for The Band): bandbacktogether.com/nonprofit-fund…—

You can help by checking out the Band’s bulletin board on Sept. 19 to see all the wonderfulous items up for auction, then bid with abandon. If you’d rather, you can also make direct donations to the Band’s PayPal account (keep checking the BB2G bulletin board for that link). OR… you can do like I did, and donate something for the auction.

Remember this post, where I rattled on about my jewelry making? I’m donating this necklace to the Band…

And as Aunt Becky says, “All proceeds from this auction will go toward costs of filing for non-profit status, running this site, and outreach efforts.”

If the Band has helped you or someone you love, or if you just want to help a sistah out, pay it forward and show a little love to Aunt Becky. It’ll do great things for your karma.

(Remember, all bids must be made at the Band’s website, NOT here. I can’t accept them, nor can I forward them…)
