When asked by his associate sponsor, Gladiator® GarageWorks, who he wanted as the beneficiary of this auction, Larry Foyt, (Team Principle of A.J. Foyt Racing) didn't hesitate to decide on Emerson Newton-John’s "Full Speed 2 a Cure” motorsport cancer awareness campaign and its charitable non-profit partner, Cure Breast Cancer.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit Dr. Ernie Bodai’s “Cure Breast Cancer” organization, which is the lead charitable partner on the “Full Speed 2 a Cure” cancer campaign. Dr. Bodai is also the man responsible for creating the “Breast Cancer Research Postal Stamp”, which has raised over 75 million dollars since its inception a decade ago. He and Olivia Newton-John are also responsible for the “Liv Aid” breast self-exam device that is designed to help woman do a convenient breast-exam in the comfort of their own home.
"I am delighted about this auction for Cure Breast Cancer, hosted by Bidaroo.com. I'm excited that it will raise awareness for woman's breast health, raise significant money for my friend Dr. Ernie Bodai's charity, and expose people to my nephew Emerson's "Full Speed 2 a Cure" motorsport cancer awareness campaign. Thank you to Larry Foyt of A.J. Foyt Racing, and Gladiator Garageworks, for their generosity in donating this signed bench for this auction. Happy bidding everyone!” - Olivia Newton-John.
The large 6 ft. wide solid hard maple work surface, with space to dock up to two Gladiator® modules underneath, sets this workbench apart from a typical workbench. The heavy-duty steel frame provides support for the 1-3/4" thick top and is equipped with leg levelers to accommodate uneven floors. Use it as a real workbench in the garage or keep it in the basement or living room to cherish forever.
This auction will be starting Friday August 21, 2009 and will run for a 30-day duration on Bidaroo.com.
