A Fund for Jennie Auction: San Diego Food Bloggers' Basket




Have you been to San Diego?

Whether you live here, you've visited our fair city or you've always wanted to, we're offering a little piece of it for the amazing Bloggers Without Borders and A Fund for Jennie.

The food blogging community has done a mind-boggling job rallying around Jennie and her daughters. Since the passing of her husband, Mikey, there are many considerations that require addressing as they move forward. A Fund for Jennie was established to make that journey easier. After two days of fundraising, #AFundforJennie raised over $14,000!!


I have met so many wonderful people through the food blogging community, so it's fitting that this auction is from a fabulous group of San Diego food bloggers. We've put together this awesome basket with over $200 worth of homemade goodies and tastes of our home. We hope to share it with you!

The basket includes:



The bidding will start at $150.

The auction will be open until Friday, September 2, at 11:59pm PST.

Please include your email address (it will be visible to only me) so that we can reach you if you win. The package will ship around September 8 and the entirety of your donation will be going towards A Fund for Jennie. We also welcome questions in the comments, if you have any. Thank you, thank you for your help!

If you are interested in donating directly, please follow the button below to Bloggers Without Borders.

So fabulous of you guys. Wish I could bid but, alas, due to an impending move to the UK I have to stop acquiring things! :)

I'll be sure to spread the word though.
