Ferndale, WA (PRWEB) April 28, 2006 -- Beginning May 1st the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County, Ferndale Branch will officially open up its online auction, hosted by cMarket to benefit over 1400 kids they currently serve.

The Ferndale Club currently serves 1471 Members in and around Ferndale, located in the northwest corner of Washington State.
Josh Wilund, Director of the Ferndale Branch commented, “This is an extremely exciting way for people to become involved in helping us serve a tremendous amount of young people and bid on some truly fantastic items!” The event will be tied in with the Club’s actual live auction event scheduled for June 3rd, 2006. PRWEB has graciously stepped up as the presenting sponsor of the Ferndale Club’s first online auction.
Featured in the auction are a wide range of amazing and exotic vacations, great seats at Seattle Mariners and Seahawks games, catered European feasts for eight people by local executive chefs and restaurants, and many other wonderful tangible and practical items that the bidder really has to see to appreciate.
