CL Online Holiday Auction 2010 for The Children's Home: Bidding begins today, ends Dec. 16

Prime seats to Lady Gaga! An exclusive dinner with a Best of the Bay-winning chef! Poker lessons with the multi-million-dollar prodigy John Racener! A vacation anywhere in the world! The cover of Creative Loafing!

You can buy all that and more, and help The Children's Home at the same time, by bidding on the more than 80 items now on view at cltampa.com/auction. Businesses from all over Tampa Bay have donated items to the 2010 auction, which last year raised more than $12,000 to benefit the Home and its programs for abused and neglected kids.

This year we want to raise lots more. The auction closes Dec. 16, but some items close earlier than that, so go to the auction page right now and start shopping!
