The first phase of the charity auction is in progress and ends tomorrow, April 15th, with the second phase ending on April 21st.

There is only one day left to go until the end of the first phase which features a personalized video of Josh Wilson performing one of his songs and handwritten lyrics on doilies from Audrey Assad. Be sure and place your bid before it's too late!

The latest round of the charity auction, which is one of the biggest in eBay's history, includes donated handwritten and autographed lyrics from Chris Tomlin and an autographed Keytar from David Crowder*Band.

All funds raised from the charity auction will be used towards the Japanese Red Cross disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Funds will be used for the on-going provision of immediate relief to support the affected population during their recovery. EMI Group has committed to match all funds raised from the auction up to a maximum of one million euros.
