Lorrie Norrington, eBay’s President of Marketplace Operations opened the first full day of the PESA/ECMTA Spring 2008 Summit in New Orleans on Wednesday, April 23rd. Prior to beginning her keynote address, Lorrie presented a check for $50,000.00 on behalf of eBay users to Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans. This donation by eBay, in combination with a $30,000.00 donation made by Frontier Marketing the previous evening at the Summit Cocktail Party and the GencoMarketplace silent auction makes a total donation of over $81,000.00 to the Habitat for Humanity New Orleans Rebuilding effort just from this event!
These donations coupled with the nearly 100 conference attendees that worked on Friday for a day with Habitat For Humanity will give notice to those in New Orleans that we have not forgotten the horrific tragedy of this natural disaster.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all that contributed to this worthwhile endeavor! Way to give back to the community!
