Online auction raises funds for kids

Johannesburg, 09 Dec 2002

Local consumer portal MSN.co.za and online auction partner Aucor are hosting an online auction of Microsoft memorabilia to raise money for the Orlando Children`s Home in Soweto.

The goods to go under the virtual hammer are signed by top Microsoft executives such as chairman Bill Gates and vice-president Brian Valentine.

"Registered Aucor bidders will also have the opportunity of purchasing exclusive items that have been specially reserved, such as a framed Bill Gates autographed computer mouse and a framed shirt signed by Brian Valentine," says Brian Winterstein, director at Aucor.com.

The initiative is part of Microsoft South Africa`s corporate social responsibility programme.

Bidders can place their bids at www.aucor.com. Bidding closes on 20 December.
