Once owned these: FirstFairway@Walden X 2; Lawai Beach; ManhattanClub; PuebloBonitoRose; 4 South Africa--now timeshare-free
I think I saw something on Facebook that led me to this website where celebrities are providing experiences to auction off or sell sweeptstakes entries for them.
The one I thought would be kind of fun was a double date with Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, and his wife. It's too expensive for me, though.:D

Not one of these appeals to me. Most are sports related and I don't like sports.

People with so much money can donate without getting anything in return. I keep donating to food banks money and I get a sense of satisfaction to contribute in helping others. I only wish I could donate more.

What we did in our Cupertino area is our Chamber of Commerce set up with the area restaurants a meal delivered to a older person in need for every $40. It is a win for our neighbor seniors and to help keep the local restaurants open and help their employees. We gave $1,000. Would have done more but had just sent $2,000 to a struggling friend in Pennsylvania that has taken in many at risk kids. Her husband works at Home Depo but had a heart attack a few weeks ago and he has asthma and diabetes but is do to go back to work. This provides them his stay at home safety for another 6 weeks or so. Problem is he will lose his medical when most needed.
