In two weeks, Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back will hit the streets of Chicago to walk 39+ miles during the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The Team has raised over $52,000 so far and they’re still going! Calls were sent out asking companies and affiliates to donate stuff for a charity auction with all proceeds benefiting the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. You can see the full list of stuff up for auction here.
3-Night Vacation for 4 to Vancouver
While all the auction items are great, the one you really want to bid on is the 3-night vacation to Vancouver, which was donated by Neverblue Ads, Heather in BC and me.
Neverblue will fly you to fabulous Vancouver, where you will stay aboard a luxurious 52 foot yacht for three nights compliments of Heather in BC, and I will host you at a Dot Com Pho lunch and feature you in the Dot Com Pho video. The value of the prize is over $5,000.
How to place a bid
The auction will run until 3:00pm EST on Tuesday, May 25th.
To bid on the item, simply enter your name, company name and amount you would like to bid in this post. The winner will be the highest bid entered before the auction deadline. The current high bid at the time of this post is $1,000. I’m sure someone can beat that! Remember, all proceeds will go to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, so not only are you bidding on a fabulous prize but you’re helping a great charity too. I look forward to welcoming the winning bidders to Vancouver!

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Chicago cool! I love to see people giving back, really makes me happy.
Nice Charity auction. I wish I could afford to bid, the price is too high lol. But the prizes are great; a nice family/group trip to Vancouver and to actually be featured on dot com pho, awesome!
i know, $1K for the trip isn’t bad at all!!!
The trip to Vancouver (especially the part about being in Dot Com Pho) sounds amazing! Charity is very important. Great post, and a great cause.
Nice opportunity John, I would love to give a try.
Always got to be willing to give back.
I’d definitely donate, but first I got to make my first million!
I can tell you right now, you never will.
I got it, you need to give to get, not get to give.
the right person would use that as a flame under their rear to put them on track to get it…not sure if Dino’s rear is burning though
lolz, good ans :p
Oh man John… I think I’ll take you up to that challenge!!!
Give me a minimum of 5 years, and I guarantee you I’ll be one. Just watch..
You should ALWAYS donate – millions or not. I go with 5% of my net income.
That’s actually a really great cause and I’m happy to see affiliates getting together for this…
Excellent initiative, unfortunately already a bit out of my price range ;-( I would also have to calculate the flight over the big pond in! SY
Giving back is what differentiates the men from the boys……
There are actually great products for auction and they are all reasonably priced…i may have my eye on the vegas trip
I’ve got my eye on that trip!
Looking at your blog, Missy, you are already doing an awful lot to help! Kudos and tip on the hat

All I can say about breast cancer is that mammograms have been found to cause it, so please do not do the mammogram thing to yourself, ladies. There is a lot of information available on the subject. Just Google it……
Good on you for continuing to promote worthwhile charities, John. This one is truly deserving of everyone’s support.
Very cool, John. We talk a lot about making money online, and it’s great to see that we’re not all just in it for ourselves
. I appreciate you sharing this with us. I would love to visit Vancouver!
I always appreciate events like this, my mother died from Breast Cancer 3 years ago next month.
thank you to all participants.
