Mitzi Perdue has a novel way of raising funds for fighting human trafficking. She enables wealthy donors to convert high-end jewelry or works of art into cash that they can donate to the anti-trafficking organization of their choice. She’s doing this through an auction where the auction house has agreed not to charge a commission!
The organization that is doing this is Win This Fight (WTF), And yes, we do know what these initials commonly refer to! (But you’ll remember this, right?)
WTF enables wealthy individuals to auction high-value property (jewelry, works of art, historical items, airplanes etc), and the proceeds from the sale goes to the anti-trafficking organization that the donor chooses. The auction will take place in January of 2021, and the New York auction house that is doing this has agreed to forego the seller’s commission.
If, to take a real example, a man has a million-dollar diamond and sapphire necklace, and wants to support his favorite anti-trafficking organization, he could turn it into cash by going through a jewelry broker. Typically, he’d have to pay a 40% commission. If he went to a regular auction house, he’d have to pay a 20% commission. The Win This Fight auction involves no seller’s commission and his charity would receive the full $1,000,000.
Mitzi is looking for volunteers for this effort. Come join the nearly 500 volunteers who are working on this now! Mitzi and the others at WTF will do everything they can to match your skills, strengths, passions, and time-availability to the work that’s needed.
If you join, you’ll meet inspiring and energizing people, you’re likely to be invited to exciting events, and most of all, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re part of a global effort to combat one of the worst scourges that affects humanity: human slavery.
As a nationally syndicated columnist, Mitzi has written more than 1600 articles, and as a nationally syndicated TV hostess and producer, she produced more than 400 half-hour shows. In 2018-2019, she had 85 articles published on business and family.
