The whole DealDash Team would like to give a heartfelt thank you to each and every bidder that paid for an auction win on Thursday, December 15th.

On the 15th, we ran a special promotion where the sum of all won auction payments (excluding cars) would be donated to Red Cross America to help folks in need.

And with your help, we raised $8,491! The wonderful community of DealDashers paid for 884 auctions on December 15th, which made such an amazing and generous donation possible.

So once again, on behalf of all of us here at DealDash, thanks again for coming through and making this year’s charity promotion the best one yet.

Let’s Work Together To Help a Noble Cause

The holidays should be the happiest time of the year. A time where people can come together to create special moments as the stress of everyday life fades away. Unfortunately, not everyone experiences the holidays this way. How can someone worry about what New Year’s party to attend when their home was destroyed by a natural disaster?

Sometimes it’s too easy to forget about the struggles that others are facing. In an effort to try and make the Holiday Season as good as it can be for those going through tough times, we are working with the American Red Cross to assist those in need. And we want you to help by participating in a very special promotion this Thursday.

DealDash will donate the fnal sum of all auction wins (excluding car auctions) that are paid for on December 15th to the American Red Cross. This means that you can donate to a very special cause simply by bidding and winning as you normally do. Just pay for your wins on December 15th and we will take care of the rest.

More about the American Red Cross

There are many charities that offer help American’s in need. In fact, DealDash has offered special promotions in the past that donate to charity. Last year, we donated to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation which gives gear and equipment to firehouses and response teams.

This year, we are proud to be able to help the American Red Cross in their mission. If you are not familiar with the values of the American Red Cross, their mission statement is worth reading. To summarize, the American Red Cross follows a set of values that they call the “Five Cs”: Compassionate, Credible, Collaborative, Committed, and Creative.

They are compassionate in serving those in need and treating them with care and respect.

They are credible in that they act with integrity and are transparent.

They are collaborative by partnering with outside organizatoins and companies, and embracing diversity and inclusiveness.

They are committed to holding themselves accountable and delivering on their mission.

And lastly, they are creative in seeking out new ways to serve those in need.

These are inspiring values that we here at DealDash are proud to contribute to. And we sincerely hope that you will join us in our mission this year to help the American Red Cross.

So remember, DealDash is donating the entire sum of all auction wins paid for this Thursday (excluding car auctions) to the American Red Cross.

Pay for your auction wins on Thursday, December 15th, to help donate.

DealDash Charity: Helping Equip Firefighters

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation helps equip first responders for their safety.

As we announced last week, Labor Day on DealDash was a bit more special this year. Thanks to the help of all bidders on Labor Day we managed to gather a total of $3,735.94 to be donated to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. The donation consisted of the full price of all auction wins paid on Labor Day on DealDash.

The inspiration for this donation came from our desire to show gratitude to our nation’s first responders. But also, on the advent of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, to honor those first responders that put their well-being aside in the service to others on that day and those many weeks and months thereafter. 

With Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation’s focus on acquiring resources and equipment, fire prevention education, and disaster relief, it seemed like a perfect fit to show our appreciation & support with a donation.

In 2020 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation helped first responders by donating the above gear.

Our Most Important Promotion Ever!

It may sound dramatic, or even a bit like clickbait, but DealDash is about to launch its most important promotion ever. Are you rolling your eyes at this bold statement and having some doubts? We don’t blame you. But hear us out – after all, we have brought you auctions for luxury cars, amazing vacations, and ran all sorts of special promotions and sales over the past decade.

People find themselves more vulnerable than ever before due to the COVID pandemic.

However, what we have planned overshadows everything else that came before it. For one week, starting on 12/28, we will donate a meal to charity for every purchase made. This promotion lasts until 1/3, and you will not want to miss it. It is a great opportunity for you to help those in need simply by doing what you already love; shopping and winning auctions on DealDash!

An Important Cause—Now More Than Ever

There are some things that should be taken for granted. In a perfect world, no child would ever consider an education or access to food and medicine a luxury. These are basic human rights, and as stated by the United Nations, everyone should have access to an adequate standard of living. The sad reality is that many kids do not have access to these things. The COVID-19 pandemic has made things worse and now food banks across America are struggling to keep up with demand. At DealDash, we want to do our part to help, and we want you involved, too. This is where the idea to donate a meal for every purchase made comes from. All you have to do is simply use DealDash as you normally would. Buy some bids, hopefully win an auction, or use the Buy It Now option.

You can help fight hunger in a big way simply by being active on DealDash from 12/28 to 1/3!

What Matters Most This Time Of Year

The holiday season can be tough. There are gifts to buy, people to see, and things to do. All of that on top of day to day responsibilities that don’t go anywhere, either. Unfortunately, the 2020 holiday season is a very difficult time for folks all over the country. Many Americans have lost their jobs because of the economic problems caused by COVID, and they don’t know what to do. For them, the holidays are not so much about gift giving and seeing family.

We try to go above and beyond to help make the holidays easier for our customers.

The holidays are about trying to scrape by. Here at DealDash, we believe that the true spirit of the holidays is helping as many folks enjoy the season as possible. We aim to go above and beyond whenever possible to deliver top notch service to our customers and also help make the holiday season a bit easier. We call these situations Christmas miracles, and to help you get in the spirit of the holidays, we want to share a few of our Christmas miracles with you.

The Importance of This Cheap Item May Surprise You…

Try to imagine for a moment that you need to spend the night outside. What would you take with you to prepare? A heavy jacket and sloe gloves? Maybe a sleeping bag? Some food to snack on would be nice. Whatever you decide on taking with you, spending the night away from the comfort of your own bed does not sound very nice. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality that over half-a-million Americans face every night, according to an official report published by the U.S Government. And believe it or not, the most in-demand item for folks that have to sleep rough is not a heavy jacket or even a sleeping bag, but socks.
