The Choice Auction

Dear Friends,

I am proud to have been on the board of Planned Parenthood North Florida for the last two years. We fight hard for the right of every woman to have the education and ability to make her own healthcare decisions. We are the only organization to provide front-line healthcare services, political advocacy and education to our community.

Due to a very high demand for our services and our increasingly restrictive political environment, Planned Parenthood North Florida finds itself in urgent need of funds.

In response to our need, some of today's most exciting writers have stepped up to donate a wide variety of signed books and services for an auction to benefit PPNF. It's an astounding lineup of internationally-bestselling, highly-acclaimed, award-winning and profoundly talented writers. They are also passionate advocates for women everywhere, and they want to make sure the people of North Florida have the healthcare they so deeply need and deserve. Every cent raised from this auction will help to continue to provide high-quality, low-cost healthcare to the thousands of women, men, and teens who rely on PPNF every year, from Tallahassee to Gainesville to Jacksonville.

Please take a look at our amazing items and support PPNF with your bids--even bids that don't win help us! And if you'd like to donate directly, please go to: http://www.firstgiving.com/PPNFL.

***NEWS!**** Every penny raised by the Choice Auction, up to $14,000, will now be matched by two friends of PPNF. Every bid or donation is worth double!

And take a look at the wonderful write-up in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/09/08/writers-for-planned-parenthood/

Thank you very much,
