The NYMEX Foundation (NF) is Looking Forward to Another Successful Auction Season....

The NYMEX Foundation will host the Live and Silent Online Auctions this November to raise much needed funds for children in need....

With the help of members, staff, shareholders and customers, 2007's Live and Silent auctions were the most successful to date.  In this ever changing world and economic uncertainty, the NF feels that this is a a most critical time to assist those children who need it most. We are looking forward to the support of the greater Exchange community to make this year's event a statement of shared concern and compassion.

Starting on November 10, 2008, the NF will open the silent online auction with a number of unique items to bid on to support the Children in Need Fund - and the more items we have, the more money we can raise, so we're asking for your help.

Show your support by clicking on the "Donate Items" button to contribute to our catalog.

Give a little and get a lot in return.
Whether you have 1 item or 100 to contribute, your participation is an invaluable part of our fundraising efforts. By donating an item or service directly online, you'll be helping to raise money for our organization, and you'll receive a mention on our site that can link back to your own web page.
