This holiday season, let's continue to help displaced families rebuild their lives and restore hope to communities in need.

Spotlight on the Stars
eBay is teaming up with eight celebrities: Ray Romano, LeAnn Rimes, Josh Hartnett, Holly Robinson Peete, Oscar de la Hoya, Drew Brees, Jamie Foxx, and Matthew McConaughey. Each of them, in concert with select nonprofits, will purchase items to benefit families and communities in the Gulf Coast region. Plus, they've each put together personal items or experiences to list on eBay, with all the proceeds going to their designated nonprofits.

Get Involved
Now through late December, join the stars and eBay employees by listing your own items with eBay Giving Works and donating 10% to 100% of the final sale price to disaster recovery nonprofits (please note, there is a $5 minimum donation required if the item sells). We have a list of some fantastic organizations you can choose from. And as always, eBay will reward your generosity with the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Policy.

Of course, you can also bid on any of the celebrity listings mentioned above, or check out the many items offered by other eBay sellers who are supporting this effort. What a wonderful way to do your holiday shopping this year – you'll know that each purchase will make a difference in the lives of those impacted by the hurricanes.

Please visit http://givingworks.ebay.com/holidaydreams to learn more and get involved. Also, don't miss our Community Champs page where we'll publish weekly stories highlighting eBay members who have truly gone above and beyond to help out in hurricane recovery efforts. And if you know someone who is a Community Champ, please nominate them!

On behalf of everyone here at eBay and the nonprofits you've been supporting, thank you for your continued generosity, and for making Gulf Coast holiday dreams come true.

Sincerely,

Kristin Cunningham
eBay Giving Works
