Lenovo Global Olympic Auction
PC company Lenovo is kicking off its final online auction of limited-edition notebook PCs inspired by the Lenovo-designed Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch.
Over the past six months, a series of “Cloud of Promise”-themed notebook PCs have been available for bidding at www.lenovohopefundauctions.com throughout 10-day periods. Many of these limited-edition notebook PCs were autographed by Lenovo Champions – athlete ambassadors – offering fans the opportunity to bid on and own a part of Olympic history. Lenovo is a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Torch Relay.
The auctions took place in: Japan, Australia, UK, France, USA, Hong Kong, Argentina, China, India, Brazil and Canada. In this final week leading up to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, 10 notebook PCs, one from each of the participating countries, are being auctioned to conclude the program. By the end of the philanthropic campaign, a total of 31 limited-edition Lenovo notebook PCs will have been auctioned around the world.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will be distributed through the Lenovo Hope Fund to select philanthropies, including Right to Play and the International Red Cross to support the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts.
