The auction has just gotten underway this morning and will end on December 15, 2010. This auction was designed by the Department of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management at Penn State and the auction benefits the United Way of Centre County. All of the proceeds from the sales of auctioned framed photographs will go directly to the United Way.
I was almost hesitant to put this up as a "thing to do" today because selfishly the prices are so cheap and the art is good, it's almost a steal. I realize that once I post this and people start bidding on this auction, I won't be able to afford any of it! I better convince someone to get this blogger a piece of art for the holidays!

Centre County Unitd Way is a volunteer-driven organization that helps a broad range of local health and human service organizations provide services, through an annual fundraising campaign.
Through a systematic review process involving dozens of funds distribution volunteers, the Centre County United Way distributes the money raised to the agencies and programs it supports. Agencies and programs requesting funding from the United Way must demonstrate that they are providing needed human services.
Centre County United Way does much more than raise money. It collaborates with other community partners to plan for future community needs, matches non-financial resources with people who need them, recruits and trains volunteers, and serves as an information and referral service to put people in touch with the services they need.
