ClubCharity.com Partners with Toronto Blue Jays Star

ClubCharity.com (www.clubcharity.com), an online auction site for celebrity and corporate charitable giving founded by CharityBids.org and visionary entrepreneur Robert L. Johnson, today announced its launch in Canada through a partnership with Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder Vernon Wells. To kick off the partnership, ClubCharity.com is auctioning a Toronto Blue Jays helmet signed by Wells and covered in Swarovski crystals. Proceeds will benefit Vernon Wells' Perfect 10 Foundation (www.vernonwellsfoundation.org), supporting single mothers and children in need.


Leveraging the Charity Bids platform, ClubCharity.com is a multi-faceted auction site featuring items from celebrities, athletes, artists, and corporations to support numerous charitable causes. Built by a team of longtime volunteer fundraisers, Charity Bids offers a secure, user-friendly, customizable solution to run fully branded auctions online, making it simple to find, bid on, and buy one-of-a-kind, unique auction items. Auctions can be displayed on multiple web properties simultaneously, allowing charities, corporations, and their affiliates to promote the same auction across multiple sites in a seamless, branded way - creating infinite fundraising opportunities, and maximizing exposure via the web.

"ClubCharity.com takes charitable giving to a new level, making it easier than ever for anyone, anywhere to find incredibly unique and exciting auction items online, while generously donating to so many important causes," said Vernon Wells. "We're extremely excited to partner with ClubCharity.com and bring even greater attention to the mission of Vernon Wells' Perfect 10 Foundation in Canada, the U.S., and worldwide."

"We specifically selected Charity Bids as the ClubCharity.com platform because of the unprecedented opportunities for exposure it provides our auctions and the causes they support," said Robert L. Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies and founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET). "Our partnership with Vernon Wells is part of our continued effort to extend that exposure to a wide range of global markets, allowing organizations like Vernon Wells' Perfect 10 Foundation and many others to take awareness-building and fund-raising to new heights."
