We are very excited to have our World's First Global Celebrity Tie Auction running on Sella now! www.sella.co.nz/link/waihi-school
The ties went live on 1 September and are attracting lots of bids already. Sir Colin Meads shot to the lead with $205, but Donald Trump's tie has quickly overtaken him at $263. Will someone from the Trump empire be watching? We hope so.... The challenge is on to see which tie benefits our school the most with the highest bid.
The concept is the idea of Carol King, a parent from Waihi School. She is very excited to see the auction running, and the boys whose chosen celebrities responded to the challenge are enjoying the auction process. It will be an exciting 2 weeks as the auctions run their course.
The funds from the sale of the ties will all go to the campaign for a new boarding and dayboys building at Waihi School. Waihi boys wrote to their favourite celebrities worldwide asking for ties and they received over 50 ties back. Among the first ties to arrive were Roger Federer's neckscarf and Donald Trump's monogrammed tie.
With the Rugby World Cup being held in New Zealand in 2011, we expect the rugby ties to be sought after. There is Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Graham Henry, Jonny Wilkinson and 2 from Waihi old boy Robbie Deans.
Don't miss your chance for a bit of fun, or to buy a unique christmas or birthday present for a loved one - get on Sella and have a look. It is a short process to register to bid on these (and thousands of other online goodies).
Don't miss out, the auctions close from 15-20 September!
