Priceless Front Row Super Bowl Tickets To Go To Highest Haiti Relief Giver

CANTON, OHIO: The Granted Wish Foundation has obtained three priceless front row tickets to Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010, that are now being auctioned off on ebay.com in order to raise money to buy and ship a mobile medical treatment vehicle to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. The top bidder will receive the finest seats at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida to see the New Orleans Saints battle the Indianapolis Colts. The auction can be accessed by searching "Super Bowl Haiti" at ebay.com.

Using funds generated by the auction, The Granted Wish Foundation plans to immediately send on-the-scene medical treatment capabilities to Haiti, where thousands are in desperate need of live-saving attention. The Super Bowl tickets were donated by Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings in Canton.

"We have the ability to save many lives if we take action right now," said Rodney Napier, CEO of Arthur Middleton. "I was on the ground there last week with a team of surgeons. People need our help. We have to get this done."

Bidding begins at 6 p.m. EST on Wednesday, January 27, and will end with the tickets being awarded, at 6 p.m. EST on Monday, February 1, 2010, or when a special "Buy It Now" price is reached, say organizers. The tickets are Section 126, Row 1, Seats 1 – 3. The tickets also include VIP passes to the Super Bowl Host Committee's pregame reception on Saturday, February 6, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Miccosukee Resort in Miami, Florida.

"Our hope is that this auction will call attention to the most pressing need Haiti quake victims face," said Stefanie Coletti, Executive Director of The Granted Wish Foundation. "People with serious injuries need help on the spot. We are working with several other agencies to coordinate medical staffing, we just need the funds to buy, stock and transport the medical vehicle there so we can begin saving lives. Every moment counts."

Apart from the auction, gifts of any amount are being accepted by phone at 866-964-2944 or online at www.grantedwish.org, Coletti said. The Granted Wish Foundation's efforts in Haiti, including photos and accounts of help being administered through the initiative, are also available on the organization’s website.
