Take home the magic!

What do Sachin Tendulkar, Salman Khan, John Abraham, Mahesh Bhupathi, Sonakshi Sinha, Bipasha Basu and Lara Dutta all have in common? Other than being A-listers at every party or event that’s worth being at, they’ve all shown tremendous support to Kick For Change by autographing some fantastic merchandise to be auctioned as part of our campaign!

 

And if our own superstars weren’t enough, we’ve also got the players from Rangers FC – champions of the (all-the-way-from-Scotland) Scottish Premier League – to autograph a jersey, which is also up for auction!

If you’ve ever envied that one friend who got Sachin’s autograph after waiting in a hotel lobby for six hours, here’s your shot at getting it sitting right there at your computer! Go to the Magic Bus auction page on eBay (www.ebay.in/magicbus) and once you’re over the excitement of seeing all the brilliant stuff up for grabs, register your bid. Bidding opens Thursday, 12th Jan and closes Thursday, 19th Jan, so get bidding soon!

 

The superstars are kicking, are you?

The swoosh of the ball is being heard!

“Besides the innovative use of web technology we are also trying to make fund raising a fun initiative rather than the plain old ‘go help a child’. We’re also heavily banking on social media to spread the word and have already got support from the local blogs in the city of Mumbai,” said an official communiqué.

 

“Of all the charity drives we have seen so far, Kick for change is probably the most well thought out. So go kick and bring that change.”
