“Charitybuzz is thrilled to continue to support the RFK Center’s vital work around the globe aiding courageous human rights defenders with our annual RFK Center Spring Auction,” said CoppyHolzman, CEO and co-founder of charitybuzz. “The Center’s high-profile supporters have once again donated coveted, incredible experiences for what we anticipate to be our best auction ever. We encourage our socially conscious community of bidders to visit often, as we will be adding unique experiences daily.”
