ESPN’s annual ESPYS Auction benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Research is once again teaming up with eBay for Charity for its 15th year. Bidding for the 80+ VIP packages and experiences is now available on eBay and will remain open through July 10.
This year fans have the chance to bid on everything from exclusive meet and greets with celebrities, athletes, coaches and league executives as well as behind-the-scenes opportunities with ESPN on-air personalities and other unique experiences.
“Everyone at ESPN Radio is beyond proud to have played a role in raising funds for cancer research with the ESPYS Auction the last 15 years,” said Traug Keller, senior vice president, ESPN Audio. “Seeing the support from fans bidding on experiences or directly donating to the V Foundation is truly something unique and special.”
“Every year the ESPYS Auction significantly contributes to and supports the critical work being done through the V Foundation,” said Kevin Martinez, ESPN vice president, corporate citizenship. “With the generous support of sports fans, employees, and partners we are close to reaching the major milestone of helping to raise over 100 million dollars for cancer research and we need your help to get there.”
“eBay is the only platform that can provide purpose, fandom and passion in one vibrant marketplace, connecting shoppers to the causes and charities they care about the most,” said Brenda Halkias, General Manager of eBay for Charity. “Together with our annual ESPN collaboration, we’re able to offer entertainment and sports fans one-of-kind experiences they can’t find anywhere else and support the V Foundation’s mission to achieve victory over cancer.”
