I think a charity calendar of some sort might be a good way to show 'em how it's done... got any ideas? ;-)@Milo

Is the typical person going to these things events 20somthings, maybe early 30s max? That age group has not reached a point where they have much experience with Charity, it will come.Interesting observation. could it also be that it is an age demographic thing.

Charity auctions are a bit more traditional but I think work really well. The point is more about how new media was seen potentially as a strong platform to raise awareness and support, even fundraise, for charities but because that same platform is used to promote the idea of everything being free online it's a challenging combination.Hey Trulpy, I didn’t get a chance to go but heard about that event and I think it’s a great idea.

But, it raised a lot of money - each person went for between £40 to £90. It was more profitable than someone shaking a blue bucket at you asking for money. Plus, bigger spenders seemed to think it worth the Kudos to put in bids - even made a few myself. I am trying to say that maybe there are new innovative ways of extracting needed money.At a recent facebook / twitter event at the blag club NHG, was a ‘human auction’ for charity where very brave, and good sports put themselves up for auction - a daunting task to stand there and see if anyone bids for you.
