Sponsored by Microsoft, the “Web Meets World” auction is inspired by
the theme of looking beyond immediate needs and into a space that
transforms limits into opportunities. The selected auction beneficiaries do
just that. The Lance Armstrong Foundation, LIVESTRONG.org, unites people in
the fight against cancer, providing useful information and tools people
with cancer need to live life on their own terms. WITNESS uses video and
online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights
violations, empowering people to transform personal stories of abuse into
powerful tools for justice and policy change. The third organization, Green
For All, promotes green-collar jobs and opportunities for disadvantaged
communities working to build an inclusive, green economy strong enough to
resolve the ecological crisis and lift people out of poverty.
