This year's BCA*2000 auction held on Ebay was the second Breast Cancer Auction sponsored by the "Here's Looking At You, Gene!" club, which has some members from the CustomDolls list. The first one was held in October 1998 and raised $21,000. Breast Cancer Auction 2000 raised over $24,000 with the final total not yet available until the paper work is completed. As a club they wanted to show our support to a charity which affects both men and women. At the onset of the auction many of the club members knew someone afflicted with the disease or some members are breast cancer survivors themselves. The funds raised in this auction will benefit the National Breast Cancer Coalition (much of this information can be obtained from the Breast Cancer Auction website.) The website showing all the dolls in the auction is located at http://members.tripod.com/~BCAuction/CatCover.html and membership information is located at http://members.tripod.com/~hlayg/index.html.
