gulf_aid_now is a fannish auction to help aid a variety of charities seeking to help those affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil well disaster.

From the site: The anger the world feels at BP is justifiable, but anger doesn't put fish in nets or food on tables. It doesn't take oil off innocent wings and gills. The only thing that can make those things possible is action. For those near the Gulf, this may mean going to the source with dish soap and a pair of waders. For those of us farther away, it may mean supplying the funds to buy supplies and help those whose paychecks are currently on indefinite hold.

On a semi-related note: Ifitwasmyhome.com allows you to see the extent of the spill within the Gulf and to compare the spill against your home location.
