KY recently raffled off a very nice hand-made entertainment center. Our very own Terry Stone crafted this fine piece of furniture out of solid ash with black walnut accents. The chances were $2 each or 6 for $10. All the proceeds went to our Zinney Jar Fund for charity. We raised $250!!! These funds are distributed to a local charity voted on by our team members here at the Fulfillment Center. In a strange, yet almost predictable, twist of fate Mike B was the lucky one that had his name drawn from the box. Thanks to all of those that bought chances and a big shout out to Terry for making and donating this wonderful item!

In the spirit of giving that this season brings to life, Zappos sold raffle tickets to employees, which dropped their name into the running for winning prizes donated by vendors and our Merchandising Department all through this December. All proceeds were donated to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. But, some prizes were so special, that they needed to be given away in a silent auction.

There were many fine items up for auction, and here are some highlights of the items sold:

• Performance Gamer Chair-donated by the electronics department
• Two Umbrellas, Autographed and Donated by Rhianna herself
• 1 Night Stay At The Wyndham
• 1 Autographed Wilson Football Signed By Eric Wright Of The San Francisco 49ers

Thank you to anyone who participated in the auction, donated items and bought raffle tickets for this wonderful cause!

It's Raffle Time again for Zappos! Our wonderful HelpDesk has been announcing the winners of our annual December raffle to benefit the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. All prizes were donated by our vendors, with items including shoes, watches, sunglasses and a lot more!

Some of the more expensive products will actually be auctioned off later in the month, all going to our charity for 2008.

The Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation works with the medical community to
provide support services and programs to families of children who are diagnosed with a life threatening or critical illness such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle cell, hemophilia, renal disorders and other immunologic diseases.

All tickets for the raffle were sold to Zappos employees for $1 and the winners are announced by email throughout the day. The prizes are all kept under the front lobby Christmas Tree, see below.

Like the Mayor of Zappos Says:

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!!!!!!!!!
