WOW!
HandUp Congo has been ZONED®!
Fran Zone's World of Good Holiday Auction
in December 2006 brought in nearly USD $13,000 for Lotumbe!
HandUp Congo's Betsy Brill and auction host Fran Zone kicked off this amazing Internet auction on ABC7/KGO-TV's popular Live from the Bay in San Francisco on November 20.
Fran, our wonderfully motivated bidders, and our more than generous donors made it all possible. We hope you will support OUR supporters! Look at all they have done for us!
Start with Fran Zone, one of America's top executive coaches, who mobilized
the teams who made the auction possible. And ABC7/KGO-TV, who promoted HandUp Congo and the auction in programming on Live from the Bay, and who brought in radio partners KKSF, KISS, KMEL, and K101.
Then consider
Stevenson Capital, a premiere home mortgage provider
founded by Zone alums
Susan Black and Ari Angelopolous,
