FUNDRAISING AUCTION FOR FALLEN HEROES TRUST
A large-scale auction of sporting memorabilia is Navy sailor WO Mick O’Carroll’s way of raising money on behalf of the NZ Fallen Heroes Trust.
WO Mick O’Carroll has masterminded a vast collection of sporting memorabilia, appealing to a wide audience of sports fans. The sporting goods will be auctioned online through Trade Me over the period 21-28 March. All proceeds will go to the NZ Fallen Heroes Trust.
Please get bidding, and tell your friends, colleagues, and sports clubs about the opportunity to get some great sporting items whilst supporting a great cause.
“Items have both national and international appeal and significance“ says WO O’Carroll. “The collection of bats, balls, photographs, and clothing includes regional, national and international sporting organisations – many of whom have signed their items.”
“Sports fans can bid on a 2013-2014 Maori All Blacks jersey or a life-sized poster of Nick Willis from the Beijing Olympics. A framed Real Madrid pennant sits alongside several ARL jerseys. Or perhaps a Glasgow Celtic football jersey takes your fancy? What about the home strip of the NZ Warriors, or paraphernalia from Team NZ Yachting?”
