The Seeing Eye's mission is to enhance the independence, dignity, and self-confidence of blind people through the use of Seeing Eye® dogs. Not only is it a worthy cause, but the charity has proven to be a smash hit when it comes to auctions.
The Seeing Eye has raised $606,627 during nine online auctions since 2009. The most recent auction raised $82,000 from 538 bidders with 4,964 bids, including $9,700 for Seeing Eye-specific merchandise.
They also auction puppy sponsorships. Who wouldn't want to sponsor a litter of adorable pups? And they make it even more fun by naming their sponsorship levels Alpha Dog, Top Dog, and Perfect Pup.
