YOUR OWN OLYMPIC BID

Note: The auctions were completed on July 8, 2004. Congratulations to the winners!

You've probably already heard the news: GamesBids.com is auctioning off access to 7 great GMAIL account names!

We're sure you've heard about Google.com's Gmail, the feature-rich email service that provides 1GB of free storage. Now you can get your hands on some great email addresses and help support The Special Olympics. The email addresses are:

London2012@gmail.com - Summer Games Bid
Madrid2012@gmail.com - Summer Games Bid
NYC2012@gmail.com - Summer Games Bid
Paris2012@gmail.com - Summer Games Bid
PC2014@gmail.com - PyeongChang, South Korea 2014 Winter Games Bid (2nd for 2010)
Tromso2014.com - Tromso, Norway Set for Winter Games Bid
Torino2006@gmail.com - the next Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2006

Unfortunately Moscow2012 was not available, some lucky supporter already snapped it up!

But what would a sports-related fundraising promotion be without some kind of competition? Using “Bid-O-Meter” (see top of page) – we’ll track the current bids for each Gmail to see which City’s address is most popular. Many believe Paris is the favorite to host in 2012, but when it comes down to popularity, perhaps another will win our Gmail bid!

And you can feel good about your bid knowing that proceeds will go to the Special Olympics. So it's win-win-win, you get a great Gmail address, you'll show support for your favorite bid and the Special Olympics gets the proceeds. Place your own Olympic bid now!
