The
"Fat Tuesday" fundraiser on February 5th rasied a little
over $300 for the Blues in the Schools program. Music was
provided by the BBS Jam Band, Froydian Slip, Nathan Jay Moody and
The Quartertons. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Via
a fundraising program at www.missionfish.com
now Ebay 
sellers can designate a portion of the sale of an item to
go to a non-profit. The Boise Blues Society is
listed as one entity you can donate to...check it
out! Wherever there is a "ribbon" next to
an item that means the seller has designated a non-proft.
Look for the BBS logo when surfing Ebay!
Give to your favorite
cause, The Boise Blues Society, by selling on eBay!
It's safe and easy to donate proceeds from an eBay sale to
your favorite nonprofit. Just list your items with eBay
Giving Works - the easiest way to sell certified charity
items on eBay. Through eBay Giving Works you can do well
for yourself and do good for someone else at the same
time!
Whether you're a new or seasoned seller, eBay Giving Works
makes sense:
It's easy to use
Any seller can donate to a nonprofit while listing an item
on eBay. Sell anything from collectibles to cars and
donate a portion through eBay Giving Works.
You pick the cause
Choose the cause that matters most to you from the
thousands of certified organizations in the MissionFish
nonprofit directory. Of course we would love for you to
choose us, The Boise Blues Society. The mission of the
Boise Blues Society (BBS) is to bring the blues in all its
forms to fans of all ages, to promote the blues as an
American art form, and to educate members and the public
to the history and role of the blues.
You control what to give
Give as little as 10% or as much as 100% from anything you
sell ($5
minimum donation
required). And with eBay's generous fee credit policy, a
percentage of your insertion and final value fees equal to
the percentage you're donating will be credited back to
your account!
Your listings stand out
The icon sets your eBay Giving Works item apart on eBay as
an authentic charity item, and the "giving bar"
tells buyers how much you're giving away. Plus, your
listing shows up in the category you pick, on eBay
Giving Works,
and on the nonprofit's MissionFish
page: it's
like getting three categories for the price of one!
More bids, higher prices, better sales
eBay Giving Works items get more bids, are more likely to
sell, and get higher final prices than regular eBay
listings! Some sellers report 20-40% higher sale prices
for the exact same item when they sell it with eBay Giving
Works.
It's tax-deductible
Every donation made from an eBay Giving Works listing is
completely tax deductible. MissionFish collects your
donation, delivers it to the nonprofit and provides you
with a tax receipt.
