Charity Enthusiast Gives Fundraisers Worldwide Reach

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 20, 2010 -- For many, high school is a turbulent time of discovery and uncertainty. For one determined class president with a knack for event planning the future was far from uncertain. Her experience as class president sparked a life-long passion for fundraising; a passion that would fundamentally change the way nonprofits fundraise worldwide.

Now, nearly two decades of fundraising later, it takes just a moment in the presence Kristi Saucerman’s youthful energy to see that her spark for fundraising is as bright as ever. Even bright enough to capture the attention of Stars Among the Angels and Iron Man Creator and Comics Legend Stan Lee

During her years of volunteer and fundraising work in her Boise, Idaho community, Kristi took on many common challenges that fundraisers face daily. As the challenges mounted she recognized a great need to simplify the fundraising process and took matters into her own hands and developed Auction Frogs.org.
“I developed a tool that would help me help the organizations I was volunteering for to raise more money by simplifying the fundraising process by taking silent auctions online allowing more people to participate in the bidding for longer periods of time.” Kristi said.

Auction Frogs.org the online fundraising tool Kristi developed is making huge waves in the nonprofit fundraising community by reaching greater audiences for a longer bidding window and garnering higher donations for nonprofits worldwide. To date Auction Frogs has raised more than $500,000 for nonprofits across the country and reached donor audiences worldwide.

Kristi is excited to present the Stars Among the Angels Online Auction powered by Auctionfrogs.org open for bidders now until May 20, 2010. The Stars Among the Angles Online Auction is intended to deliver an online auction to complement a special event honoring Iron Man Creator and Comics Legend Stan Lee, supporting foster and at risk children during a 3 day event.
