Buy (or donate) Mac software for charity

Given that MacUser HQ is located in the fair commonwealth of Massachusetts, we can’t resist pimping a cause close to our heart—geographically close, anyway. The first weekend in August, Seth Dillingham will be participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge, riding his bike across the entire state, along with about 5500 others. Seth’s raising money for The Jimmy Fund, an excellent charity dedicated to researching and treating cancer.
But, being a Mac user and programmer, Seth has decided to try and raise that money in a rather unique fashion: by auctioning off software bundles. He’s gotten a number of Mac software houses to donate licenses for their apps. Should you wish to participate by buying a bundle, you have two options. You can buy a CD of the bundled software off eBay, or you can make him an offer for a bundle of two or more of the apps, then make a corresponding donation to the Pan-Mass Challenge. Either way, all the proceeds go directly to charity. For details, check out Seth’s website above.
At present, the app list contains 63 applications out of a target of 150, from some of our favorite Mac devs both in Massachusetts (Bare Bones, Red Sweater) and elsewhere (Flying Meat, Shirt Pocket, and Many Tricks). Seth’s still looking for more devs to participate, so consider dropping him a line if you want to donate your software to a great cause.
