sedo_cares_110x75.jpgThe SedoCares’ “Wishing Well” Promotion is well on its way with over $7,000 already contributed into the “Wishing Well” through Sedo. The amount of positive response the promotion is receiving has exceeded our expectations and we are excited to see the overall success of the "Wishing Well" do the same!

As a Sedo member, you still have the chance to participate in the promotion. This month, when you take part in a transaction through Sedo’s marketplace you will automatically be in the running to win the cash prize. So, the more you buy or sell the more chances you have to win! Even those who don't win cash will be part of a bigger cause to build a new well for an Ethiopian village in need of clean water.
