What is Connect for a Cause?

Connect for a Cause is an auction designed to connect buyers and sellers. Through an online auction portal, sellers can bid on the chance to win 60 minutes with CEOs and top financial leaders. The best part is that 100% of the proceeds go to BUILD Boston which helps create fair playing fields for Boston youth - regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, or neighborhood.

Why is Vendr hosting Connect for a Cause?

Vendr believes in creating fair playing fields, everywhere.

We also believe today’s buyer-seller connection is broken, and that by connecting buyers and sellers, we can create fair playing fields. When you connect the right buyer to the right seller, it’s a win-win for both sides.

We’re deeply passionate about giving back to our communities, and are excited for the opportunity to do that through BUILD Boston.
