Jeff and Andre Shinabarger started Gift Card Giver 3 1/2 years ago based on a great idea they had.  They collect unused or partially used gift cards and then give them to people in need!  This year $50,000 should be given in gift cards based on this simple concept!

For Gift Card Giver, since they deal primarily with gift cards and not cash, they think of innovative ways to collect actual dollars so the work can be continued.  For every $1 collected, they are able to turn that into $4 in gift cards to help people who are in great need!

This is why they have an annual Silent Art Auction! They’re getting all ready for it again! Last year it was a great time getting to know artists in the city, viewing and bidding on amazing pieces of artwork, and spending an evening with friends!  On GiftCardGiver.com they’ll be posting information about contributing artist and businesses who are being very generous to give to the cause.

The event will be on Friday November 12, 2010 beginning at 7:00 PM at The Solarium in Oakhurst.  Please put it on your calendar, and plan to join us!

If you are an artist, know an artist, or have other silent auction items you would like to contribute, please contact info@giftcardgiver.com!  Pieces and silent auction items are still being collected!  It would be great to have you apart of the event!
