Purveyors of the French fancy, Hermes
have a new plan to raise money for hurricane relief. They are selling a New Orleans scarf to raise money for rebuilding
the Big Easy. The pattern was originally created in 1996 to celebrate the birth of jazz. The pattern comes in three
colors, black, blue and orange and includes pictures of New Orleans jazz musicians. The scarf costs $320 and 10% of the
proceeds will benefit City Park, a recreational area in New Orleans.
Ah, Clooney, could we love
you anymore? Gorgeous George, who won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for "Syriana" will donate the swag bag he received for being an
Oscar presenter to the United Way. The auction will benefit the United Way Hurricane Response and Relief Recovery Fund.
The bag includes a BlackBerry 8700c, a Kay Unger kimono and a cultured Tahitian-pearl necklace but more importantly, the
winner gets a handwritten thank-you note from Clooney himself. More details on the bag contents can be found here
and the total worth is estimated to be around $100,000. The auction begins March 21. Of course if Clooney
wanted to make some serious donation money, he should auction himself off…
It's the ultimate package for the Michael Jordan sneaker fan, a package that includes unworn Air Jordan
basketball shoes I through XXI. The collection is autographed by Michael Jordan and the set comes with a custom-built
display case. Best of all, 90% of the profits go to Habitat for Humanity's Hurricane Katrina and Rita relief. The
shoes comes in the sizes and colors worn by Jordan throughout his career. The starting bid is $425,000 and there have
been no bids yet.
It must be fate, last night
driving home on a mostly deserted street I pulled up to a red Dodge Viper at a stoplight, today I learn on a Viper that
is being auctioned off on eBay to benefit those affected by Hurricane Katrina. An anonymous donor offered this 1996
Viper to the Pathway Church in Maryland and 100% of the proceeds
will go to hurricane relief. The Viper has less than 40,000 miles on it and comes with a soft top and soft windows.
Thecurrent bid stood at
$32,000 last time I checked.
