Reef Relief, the nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to protecting coral reefs, invites everyone to be a part of their annual Reef Relief Holiday Online Auction, to run from November 10th through December 15, 2007, at www.reefrelief.org".

"You can get involved several ways: be a cash sponsor of the event, donate an auction item, provide email lists so we can invite your friends to be a part of the auction, but most of all, the Reef Relief Holiday Online Auction gives everyone, no matter where you live, an opportunity to do holiday shopping while helping save coral reefs at the same time," notes Reef Relief's DeeVon Quirolo. "This is Reef Relief's biggest fundraiser of the year."

Reef Relief works year-round on environmental education programs, policy guidance and marine projects that make a difference for coral reefs. It is headquartered in Key West on the shores of North America's only living coral barrier reef, and also operates the Capt. Roberts House Environmental Center in Green Turtle Cay in the Abacos, Bahamas.

"The auction sales help generate funds and are a great way to showcase our business supporters to a broad audience of ocean lovers who are looking for holiday gifts. Auction items include special events, merchandise, travel, lodging, dining, artwork, watersports, and more," Quirolo added. So make a point of checking out www.reefrelief.org on Nov. 10th to view all the great auction items and place your bids on your favorites.
