Hunting Down Cancer (HDC) Auction for TeamConnor - October 3, 2010

Hunting Down Cancer (HDC) is a fund raising organization that organizes a benefit each year to help raise money for the fight against cancer. Each year starting on the last Sunday in August they auction off hunting and fishing trips across the county that go to raise money for a Cancer program.  With the HDC Benefits all of the money that you pledged in winning the auction will go directly to the charity we are raising money for.  They are able to do this because of money raised by personal donations and or other auctions items tagged specifically to raise money to cover the operating costs of listings on eBay, advertising and website hosting. 

HDC is not a non-profit organization, they help raise money for them.  The HDC works with the nonprofit charity and run the auction process for them.  The non-profit receives all of the money generated from the auctions and the HDB covers all of the eBay fees and expenses. 

The HDC's first two years of benefits they raised a little over $26,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation .  This year's HDC Benefit started on August 30th and they raised $11,040 for the cancer program Reel Recovery.  It is a cancer outreach program centered around the activity of fly fishing to help people affected by cancer deal with their fight. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Hunting Down Cancer.

The 2010 benefit will help support the TeamConnor organization. The auctions will again start October 3, 2010 on eBay under "HDC Hunts."
