Rackets of the Estoril Open winners auctioned on SAPO
Monday, May 07, 2007
The rackets of the two winners of the Estoril Open are going to be auctioned on the largest Portuguese portal. The proceeds will go to Associação Novo Futuro. Yet another action integrated in SAPO’s bet on social solidarity
SAPO and Lagos Sport joined and are going ahead with a new social solidarity action. Via the largest Portuguese portal the two rackets of the winners of the Estoril Open are going to be auctioned. One belongs to the winner of the Women’s category and the other belongs to the winner of the Men’s category and both have been autographed. The on-line auction started yesterday and will continue for another four days. The proceeds will be given to Associação Novo Futuro.
Participate at http://leiloes.sapo.pt and contribute towards this initiative. The autographed rackets have a staring price of 1 euro, with increases of the same value.
Note that in August 2006, SAPO beat the record of on-line auctions in Portugal when it raised Euro 24 thousand for solidarity institutions. The first auction was with the Benfica shirts, where Euro 9 thousand were raised for ELO Social and the second was with Sporting shirts and Euro 15 thousand were raised for the Luís Figo Foundation.
