Auction to Raise Money for Water Projects in Africa
The African Well Fund has announced a charity event entitled Got Water? A Virtual Auction for Clean Water Projects in Africa. Starting on November 7th, a variety of donated items will be available for bidding on African Well Fund’s eBay auction page. Many items have been donated for the benefit including a treasure trove of U2 fan memorabilia.
The auction runs through midnight on Nov. 13th. During that time, items will be available on African Well Fund’s dedicated eBay page as well as on AWF’s MissionFish page. 100% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to fund water projects in Africa.
Some of the donated items to be auctioned include the following: A copy of the book Bono in Conversation, autographed by both Bono and the author; a numbered limited edition art lithograph by Larry Mullen Jr.; a RIAA Platinum Record Award for Achtung Baby and a numbered limited edition All That You Can’t Leave Behind promo box. A number of non-U2 items will be available as well including the opportunity to name a character in upcoming novels by authors Kelley Eskridge and Nicola Griffith. The high bidder in this auction may use his or her own name, or give the right as a gift to a friend or family member. The namesake will also receive a personalized signed copy of the published book.
The African Well Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was founded by a group of U2 fans in late 2002. Since that time they have raised over $110,000. Proceeds from the African Well Fund are donated to Africare’s water projects in Africa. Africare is one of the leading private, nonprofit charitable U.S. organizations assisting Africa.
