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.
