Each month, a nonprofit organization is chosen to host the Industry Connection/ WKOW TV online auction. The Madison Business & Professional Women (BPW) have been chosen to host the December 2004 online auction. WKOW provides space on their web site and Industry Connection designs the pages and collects the auction bids at no charge.

During the month of December, shoppers will go the web site, view a list of products and services offered for bidding, and do holiday shopping from the convenience of their homes. Each donated item will be featured on the web site with a full description and the name of the donor. (Check out Industry Connection/ WKOW TV’s web site at http://www.wkowtv.com to see the current auction in progress.)

The exciting part of hosting the December auction is that 100% of all winning bids are given to our organization. And in turn, 100% of the funds we raise go toward scholarships. Recipients may include nontraditional students, those returning to the workforce, or those who wish to further their careers. Check out our local web site – http://madison.com/communities/bpw – for more information about our not-for-profit organization.
