Here are this year’s real eBay Heroes

This post was written in June 2008; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

Giving Works (the US equivalent of eBay for Charity) held their 5th annual awards at eBay Live! The winners represent some of the real eBay Heroes whose (often unnoticed) efforts raise so much for deserving causes.

Every time someone buys or sells on eBay using Giving Works money is raised for charity and over $150m has now been raised through the program. During the day we met Roman Garcia and Kristin Cunningham from the Giving Works team and with their infectious enthusiasm it’s no wonder the program is growing from strength to strength.

This year’s award winners were:

2008 Top Community Selling Fundraiser Award: Todd Denlinger of snowdealsnow
2008 Top Nonprofit Fundraiser Through Direct Selling Award: CarAngel Ministries
2008 Golden Ribbon Award, Community Seller: Danna Crawford
2008 Golden Ribbon Award, Nonprofit: Make Yourself Foundation, Incubus
