We love it when penny auction sites give back to help out great causes!

Starting this Wednesday, July 27th through Sunday, July 31st,  North Carolina based penny auction Bid-Bob.com will donate 10% of all bid pack sales to The Imus Ranch.

Radio personality Don Imus, a raw food advocate and cancer survivor, along with his wife Deirdre Imus, founded The Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer in Ribera, New Mexico.  The Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer is a working cattle ranch to provide a unique experience and to help build up self-esteem in kids dealing with cancer and blood disorders, as well as for those who have lost their siblings due to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). The Imus Ranch has hosted over 1,000 children since 1998.

Bid-Bob is a penny auction site that specializes in gift card penny auctions. They seem to make giving back a priority, not only with their charity bid drives but with their automated charitable giving program which allows winners to select a charity of their choice during payment and Bid-Bob.com will then donate 5% of the gross profit to a charity of the winner’s choice.

What have your experiences been bidding on Bid-Bob.com? Join our penny auction forum and post your penny auction reviews.
