Loxly Gallery Supports the Boobies!

Loxly Gallery is an online showcase developed by photographer and digital artist Deborah Carney.

During Affiliate Summit 2008 East in Boston, Cory Booker, they Mayor of Newark, NJ and keynote speaker at the conference referenced a passage from Luke 12:48, paraphrased as “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

It is a saying that I take to heart and means a great deal to me.  And, Deb knew this.

As a way to show her support on the fight against Breast Cancer, Deb took one of my favorite photos that I shot during my yearly trip to Aruba (a fabulous Aruba sunset) and added the quote to it.

The print is now for sale on LoxlyGallery.com and she is donationg 50% of the retail price to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the charity that AffilateMarketersGiveBack is currently supporting.

Thanks Deb for making this happen.   Way to pay it forward!

ShoeMoney and TrainSignal Support the Boobies!

Jeremy (ShoeMoney) Schoemaker recently ran an auction on eBay for a company to have him wear their t-shirt for the three days of Affiliate Summit West 2009.

The bidding was up to about $2,500 with 24 hours to go, but increased to $5,200 at the end.

ShoeMoney Auction

The winner was TrainSignal, a global leader in professional computer training.

In a selfless fashion, TrainSignal decided to bump up their donation amount to $10,000.00!

The funds from the auction are being donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the official charity of Affiliate Summit West 2009.

Thanks a lot, ShoeMoney and TrainSignal! You are my heroes!

Save the Boobies for a Chance to Win Great Prizes @Affiliate Summit

In late 2006, Shawn Collins and I made a pledge to raise money in innovative ways for various charities that assist children; help out the families of stateside and deployed servicemen and women; and fund breast cancer research – a cause that is close to my heart.

We’ve launched cause-related sites such as ShipToTroops.com and AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com; we’ve worn “unusual” sponsored logo-wear, held goofy contests; sold hugs; walked 120 miles; and together with Affiliate Summit attendees, we’ve raised over $127,000, since January, 2007. 

All proceeds have gone directly to benefit  Brothers Big SistersMarch of DimesSusan G. Komen Foundation, Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation and Operation Homefront.

At the upcoming Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas this January, we’ll be holding another one of our entertaining fundraisers.   All money raised from these events will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

So far, we’ve collected $7,500 for our Staff T-shirt Sponsorship which my friends at buy.at/Platform A so graciously picked up.  I am honored to sport their logo on my shirt during the conference.

We will also be holding the first-ever Affiliate Triathlon, which will be held on Tuesday, January 13th at the Rio Hotel.

It is open to all athletes.  (The term “athlete applies to anyone attending Affiliate Summit 2009 West).

It is a 3-event contest of skill, determination and dexterity… and destined to be filled with laughs.

The winning athlete (highest cumulative score across the three competitions) will be awarded their choice of:

  • One non-corner, 10′ x 10′ exhibit hall booth (value: $5,195) at Affiliate Summit East 2009.*
  • Four Platinum Passes (value: $4,996) for use at Affiliate Summit East 2009.*

*Either prize can be sold or transferred to another person and Affiliate Summit 2009 East, takes place in NYC on August 9-11, 2009.

The entry fee for the Affiliate Triathlon is $100, which is donated directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
