With the one year anniversary of Katrina, Amoeba reflected on the tremendous success that we had in aiding this cause and we want to thank all of our customers, friends and families for their incredible support! The people in the Gulf are now just starting to rebuild and will continue to need assistance for years to come. With this said, Amoeba has made a long term commitment to providing the musicians of the Gulf region with a percentage of our overall sales raised during our Saturday Amoeba Auctions.

Continuing our support on the local level is extremely important to us, but with the current state of our environment, we felt it necessary to take on a larger, more global focus as well.

In September 2006, Amoeba began our THINK GREEN campaign working in alliance with following organizations: Rainforest Action Network (who we've supported since Amoeba opened our doors in 1990), Sierra Club Angeles Chapter and Conservation International.

 

We continue to work closely with these non-profits by creating awareness for their issues and by raising funds through in-store donations, outside events and our Saturday afternoon Amoeba Auctions:

 

Sierra Club's Angeles Chapter

The Sierra Club’s Angeles Chapter is now in its 93rd year of involvement in the enjoyment and protection of our planet's environment. The local chapter has 58,000 of the Sierra Club's 750,000 members. The Club’s mission is: "To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth, to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources, to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment, and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives."

Conservation International

http://www.conservation.org/
CI’s mission is to conserve the Earth’s living natural heritage, our global biodiversity, and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature.

The Rainforest Action Network

http://www.ran.org
Rainforest Action Network (RAN) works to protect the Earth's rainforests and support the rights of their inhabitants through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action. RAN works in alliance with environmental and human rights groups around the world, including indigenous forest communities and non-governmental organizations in rainforest countries. Amoeba donates a portion of our profits each year to the Rainforest Action Network. To date we have helped save over 1,000,000 acres of Rainforest.

Amoeba Auctions

We are working closely to support and create awareness for the organizations mentioned above by raising funds through in-store donations, outside events and Saturday auctions. Amoeba Auctions happen at our Sunset store every Saturday afternoon at 4pm. Our host, Brently Heilbron, auctions everything from the wacky promotional item to rare collectables and autographed pieces. Over the last year, Amoeba Auctions raised $150,000 that went directly to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina. As of September, we are focusing on bringing in funds for those organizations listed above. Please come and join us- Amoeba will match all accepted individual bids up to $1,000!
