MUMBAI: This is reality television for a worthy social cause. Reality
themed Survivor: The Amazon has partnered with the Elizabeth
Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation to offer props, memorabilia and
a one-of-kind "experience package" from the show on eBay - billed
as the world's online marketplace.
All proceeds will benefit the foundation to help create a healthier
future for children worldwide. The eBay charity auction will run
from 11-24 May.
The auction coincides with the grand finale of the show which will
air in the US on CBS on 11 May. In India, the show used to air on
AXN. The items that will be on sale include:
-- All 16 Survivor: The Amazon castaway torches
-- Immunity necklace and immunity idol
-- Castaway backpacks and machetes in sheaths
-- The stone voting table
In addition fans can bid on breakfast with two previous Survivor
winners Tina Wesson and Ethan Zohn in Los Angeles on 8 June.
Survivor first partnered with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric
AIDS Foundation during the filming of Survivor: Africa to
highlight the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and the work the foundation
is doing to prevent mother-to- child transmission of HIV.
To date, the partnership has raised more than $500,000 for the
foundation.
