“This charity auction supports the fundraising goals of the GunBroker.com Family Team to help in the fight against breast cancer, one of the leading causes of death in women around the world,” said Steve Urvan, owner of GunBroker.com. “Although many of our buyers and sellers are men, they are touched by this disease through their wives, mothers and daughters. We wanted to do our part to help improve treatment and save lives.”
GunBroker.com hosted the two-week online auction during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Company employees and their family members also took part in the Breast Cancer 3 Day (www.the3day.org) in Atlanta, October 24-26. The three-day, 60-mile walk benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure (www.komen.org), which provides non-profit funds for breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention programs; and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund (www.nptrust.org), which provides ongoing support to breast cancer initiatives.
