EBay and Best Friends


I am very happy to report that ebay Foundation has donated $1,000,000,000 to be split between Oxfam, Best Friends for a new puppy care home, and First Book. Best Friends will get half of the money immediately. Also the Hush Puppies shoe company is conducting a fundraising campaign for the puppy preschool as part of its year-long celebration of its golden anniversary.

As you will see from the link to Ebay Foundaton, Best Friends is a very good and sound organization that has made a tremondous impact on how we treat and view members of the animal community. It is an organization that I have supported for some years and would encourage you to do the same. Their work both here in the U.S. and in hard hit areas all around the world is outstanding.

Its hard to beleive that eBay was only founded in 1995; where would we be without it today! They established their foundation in 1998 as a way to give back to their community. The foundation actively works to improve the social and economic well-being of local communities by funding nonprofit organizations and supporting community involvement by eBay employees. Since its inception, the eBay Foundation has contributed more than $16 million to nonprofit organizations.
