As some of our 'older' members may remember, last holiday season NamePros hosted a Domains For Charity event. The Domains for Charity event is aimed at helping provide gifts for the less fortunate during the holidays.

Last year, a NamePros account was set up for NameBuck (NP$) donations from members of the forum and NameBucks were collected to be sold for real money. 100% of the proceeds from the sales went towards purchasing gifts for children around the country.

Along with the NP$ sales, gift giving was also made possible by domain name donations. Forum members donated thier unused (or gently used :)) domain names to be later auctioned in a live chat event. Unlike the usual NamePros auctions, these domains were auctioned for real money instead of NP$, and all proceeds were used to buy more gifts for the less fortunate.

More information about this year's event will be posted here shortly. In the meantime, send your NP$ donations to DomainsForCharity through the NamePros store or click here to donate. An informational page will soon be setup where you can find the account names at various registrars to which you can push your domain donations.

The exact auction date has yet to be determined, but it will most likely be in early December.

If you have any comments or questions about the event, feel free to post here or send me a PM.

You can now view an updated list of domains for auction at: http://www.domainsforcharity.org Prebidding is not yet coded, but should be soon.

Thanks for taking charge of the Charity Auction again, Jason.

Some NP$ en route, and some good domains as well before the month is out. This one's for the children, everyone, so give 'til it hurts. :D

Very nice Charity Auction Idea! I like it, I donated 250 NP$ for Charity (Donate 11-09-2004 02:03 PM 0% 250.00 250.00 DomainsForCharity) I hope we can get some money for helping the people who really needs the help!

Thanks Kodeking for getting this started :)

Great to see this will be an annual event! :)

One thing though, wasn't the auction for domains NP$-based? I don't remember buying the donated names for $USD...

The charity auction was US$-based, as I recall paying with my credit card.

I have a 4 day weekend so I will be coding a script that will keep a database of the names and should have a prebidding feature where you can click "PreBid" next to a domain and submit a maximum bid incase you can't make it to the auction day.

Stay 'tuned' here for an update. We have over 20 domains donated already!

We're still seeking domain donations. If you would like to donate a domain or two to be auctioned, all the funds go to a great cause! See www.domainsforcharity.org for donation info.
