Bid on FIFA 2010 World Cup soccer ball plus lunch at Planet Hollywood International.

New York City (I-Newswire) November 22, 2011 - “On Sunday we will list one of the four 2010 World Cup Soccer Balls that the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) gave us on Ebay”, said Victor Mooney, executive director of Queens, New York based - South African Arts International (SAAI).

Funds raised will be allocated for the ocean rowboat Mooney will use for a five-thousand mile transatlantic row for Aids awareness and prevention from Las Palmas Canary Islands to New York. Mooney will make a re-supply in the British Virgin Islands. His mission is to encourage voluntary HIV testing, advocate prevention, reduce the stigma and discrimination for people living with HIV/AIDS.

The highest bidder will receive the soccer ball and four lunch certificates to any Planet Hollywood restaurant (worldwide). The campaign will conclude on December 1, World AIDS Day at 2:00pm inside Planet Hollywood – New York City. Opening bid is set at US $10,000.00.

Mooney will carry the other soccer balls in his rowboat for the journey. After arriving at New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, Mooney will pass the balls back to FIFA for their “Football for Hope” program. "We congratulate you for your commitment to the fight against HIV/Aids as well as for your courageous sporting challenge", said Federico Addiechi, head of Corporate Social Responsibility for FIFA.

Mooney has lost one brother to AIDS and has another battling the disease. This will be the rowers fourth attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean. For more on this project, visit www.goreechallenge.com.
