Charity left up to chance? On July 22nd at 4pm in New York City on 23rd and Broadway in front of the Flatiron building, professional soccer players from England's Manchester United Soccer Club will try to hit a small target from 51 feet away with a soccer ball. The target will be shaped like an Hublot timepiece, and if one of Manchester United's finest hits the target, Hublot will donate a million dollars to UNICEF for charity.

The "million dollar goal" as Hublot calls it will accompany a major outdoor event, and high participation is expected on the street in New York. Hublot and Manchester United have an existing partnership, as Hublot is a Sponsor of the team. Hublot has also created a limited edition collection of Manchester United "Red Devil" Big Bang watches (that are quite cool). In the event that no player hits the target and wins big for UNICEF, Hublot has still declared that it will make a sizable donation to the popular charitable foundation.
