YNOT — The 2012 Phoenix Forum gathering took place in the last days of March, but now the event’s organizer CCBill is spreading thanks to attending companies that took part in charitable giving. Specifically, CCBill is pointing to a charity auction sponsored by Next Door Buddy Profits, plus a donation of water bottles made to a local Arizona shelter on behalf of Cash Dorado.

The charity auction, which happened during the ‘Friday Night Heat’ event, raised $7,100 inn direct funds for the Until There’s A Cure Foundation, an organization that is focused on combating HIV/AIDS.

“The auction gets better each year,” said Gary Jackson, VP of sales and Internet markets for CCBill. “Next Door Buddy Profits is to be commended on not only putting on a great event, but providing a strong example of how the adult community drives awareness and demonstrates support for important causes that impact the greater population. I’m proud to have been able to be part of the auction.”

Cash Dorado donated cases of water to the Central Arizona Shelter Services.

“I think the actions of Next Door Buddy Profits and Cash Dorado speak for themselves,” said Kathi Stout, event manager for The Phoenix Forum. “The assistance our community is willing and ready to provide are second to none, and I would like to thank everyone for helping make the Phoenix Forum the success it is.”
