SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 3 CA-NewBiiz.com-Auctio
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- NewBiiz.com, an online retailer
of PC hardware and software, announced today that it is partnering up with
girl gamers and a variety of manufacturers to host an online auction
benefiting the Starlight Children's Foundation. NewBiiz will be auctioning off
numerous products from manufacturers including Thermaltake, Logitech, Palit,
Antec, Gigabyte, Biostar and Audio4Fun.
The auction will be hosted on eBay through eBay Giving Works, which
facilitates nonprofit listings, and administered by the licensed nonprofit
organization Mission Fish. eBay Giving Works assists sellers to donate either
a portion or all of the proceeds to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
"NewBiiz is very excited to be able to use our resources to give back to
such a wonderful charity as the Starlight Children's Foundation," says a
spokesperson for NewBiiz.
Girl Geek, hosted by NewBiiz, was launched in July 2008 to promote women's
presence in the male-dominated PC and gaming industry. The site covers
interesting tech articles, upcoming expos and LAN shows, hot products and most
importantly, it features Girl Geeks who have made their own mark in the tech
industry.
One of the featured products was donated by featured Girl Geek Ciji
Thornton, also known as StarSlay3r in the Guitar Hero community, who will be
sponsoring an autographed Guitar Hero controller with a custom skin for this
charity auction event.
"I was extremely excited to see that NewBiiz showed an interest in helping
these ill children and their families in these tough times. I hope that gamers
and non gamers alike will come together to show their support for this great
cause," says Thornton.
The Girl Geek Charity Auction kicks off September 3rd, 2008 on eBay and
runs through the end of the month. Users can now bid online at the Starlight
Children's Foundation's eBay Giving Works page for these items and 100% of all
the proceeds will go to benefit the Starlight Children's Foundation.
