Volkswagen of America Teams Up with Celebrities to Feed the Children
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today that they will begin auctioning two Touareg SUV hoods that were each signed by more than 40 professional athletes, actors, and musicians at two events that took place during the VW i.p (Volkswagen Important People) promotion in Las Vegas over the weekend of February 16-18. The auctions will take place on eBay with all of the proceeds benefiting Feed The Children®, a nonprofit relief organization that delivers medicine, food, clothing and other necessities to those who lack supplies due to poverty, war, famine or natural disaster.

The first hood features the signatures of such notables as actor Don Cheadle, actor Wood Harris, recording star Mya, actress Rosie Perez, actor Michael Clark Duncan, NBA Star Tony Parker and many more. These celebrities stopped at the Touareg, as they made their way down the red carpet at Kenny Smith’s All Star Bash and Celebrity Poker Tournament on Friday, Feb 16th.


A second Touareg was stationed on the red carpet at the National Basketball Players’ Association Gala on Saturday, Feb 17th. The silver hood features signatures in black by stars such as NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, current NBA stars Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, comedian/actor Cedric the Entertainer, and recording star Nelly, among others.

Both hoods will be mounted and framed, creating a beautiful wall display for the winner of each auction, beginning April 2, 2007 and ending April 11, 2007. The minimum bid for each hood is $500. The auctions can be found here for the black hood and here for the silver.

Feed The Children is a Christian, international, nonprofit relief organization with headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster. During its 27-year history, Feed The Children has grown into one of the world's largest private organizations dedicated to helping hungry and hurting people. Last year, Feed The Children shipped 183 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and families in all 50 states and in 65 foreign countries, supplementing more than 1,463,000 meals a day worldwide. Since its founding in 1979, Feed The Children has reached out to help children and families in 118 countries around the globe. For more information on Feed The Children, visit www.feedthechildren.org

Great collection of autographs, and for a good cause as well.

Silly kid, VW is doing this to feed the children. Not everything is about stuffing your pockets with money.
