This news item comes from Karen Dionne at Backspace.org:
Ms. Irene Goodman, president of the Irene Goodman Literary Agency, will auction a single spaced, half-page critique for 25 partial manuscripts (approximately 50 pages and a synopsis). This will be done on Ebay from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15, 2009. The 25 highest bidders will win. The critiques will all be done personally by Ms. Goodman. They will not be farmed out. Ms. Goodman will email the completed critiques to each of the authors within one month after the auction closing date. ... All starting bids must be $100 or more.
All proceeds will go directly into one of two foundations: the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the Deafness Research Foundation. Both foundations are well established, and the research in each area is incredibly promising. If the necessary funds are obtained to continue research, effective treatments can be expected in the next several years.

Oh, how cool. I must mark my calendar.
any updates coming ?
I just want to thank everyone for spreading the word and for participating in the auction, which was a HUGE success! It went so well that I will be continuing to auction critiques of partials every single month, on the first day of each month. Please check my web site for details.
