I hardly ever get super jazzed about most auctions, because I've seen just about everything and I'm generally happy that all these auctions are benefiting nonprofits around the country. But when the folks at ESPN started giving me the scoop about the fourth annual Don't Give Up ESPYs V Foundation Auction, I got pretty excited. You can't have the word "sports" without ESPN and morning commutes (or your sofa) are just not the same without Mike & Mike in the morning. So what if they were broadcasting from your home? Well this year's auction gives you that opportunity, and it starts at .99 cents!
You can ALSO bid on your chance to roam the sidelines at a Monday Night Football game, or hang out with the Baseball Tonight crew!
100% of the proceeds benefit the V Foundation, and that is the BEST reason for bidding (in addition to wanting the items). I remember watching Jimmy V's speech at the ESPYs and crying and feeling inspired/moved at the same time. Thus another reason why I love this auction.
This year you can also DONATE DIRECTLY to the V Foundation to help their goal to someday find a cure for cancer.
The fun starts July 6th! SO BOOKMARK IT!
