The Myeloma Crowd Research Initiative (MCRI) is off to a fabulous start, so far raising $500,000. Our next project is an online fundraising auction. We are asking you, our myeloma family, to consider donating something of value for this critically important project.
Here’s how it works:
1. Send a description and quality photo of the item or service to info@myelomacrowd.org with its retail value by midnight Wednesday, November 25th. Items may be a chain restaurant, movie passes, a knitted scarf and gloves, slippers, if you own a cabin perhaps consider donating time there, jewelry, cookbooks, airline miles, home items.
Then watch out for a preview of the listed items prior to when we open the bidding process. Then shop for gifts for yourself or loved ones for the holidays!
