Hello all Marker athletes and Industry Friends,

By now I hope you have all heard of our partnership with the good people at Gibson Guitars. They made us three custom, one-of-a-kind instruments featuring Marker & Volkl graphics. We are launching the Marker auction today, and it is the most important one, so we need your help.

All proceeds (every single cent) of the final auction price will go to Shane McConkey’s wife Sherry and daughter Ayla. We will also add to the total amount. The auction is currently live on-line at www.markerusa.com:

The auction will conclude next Friday, March 12, at 12:00 midnight Eastern Standard Time. We need you, our athletes, partners, colleagues, and friends to help us increase awareness of the auction so that we can raise as much money as possible. Please forward this email, post on your own websites and blogs, post to your Facebook pages, twitter feeds, etc. I have attached a couple of photos.

How do I bid? Click on the “Bid Now” button on the link above. You will be asked to set up a user name and password. Once you do this, it will work much like ebay. IMPORTANT for international bidders: the username and password form is in USA address format. To overcome this, simply place “NH” in the State field and leave the rest blank. This will allow you to register. If you have any problems registering, please reply to this email and I will help.

Can I see the guitar before the auction? If you live in Northern California, yes. It will be only display the last night of the auction at Plaza Bar/Bar One in Squaw Valley. We will have more details on this event in the next few days.

What if I don’t play guitar? Doesn’t matter. It’s a collector’s piece. You can always donate it to a third party (like a music charity) or perhaps even to Shane’s family.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give us with this effort. It is very much appreciated. The final donation will be made through http://shanemcconkey.org/
