Do you remember the cute and pink Audi A1 designed by Damien Hirst from a few days back. It was sold at Sir Elton John's auction at the Tie & Tiara Ball last night for 350,000 GBP, or 425,000 EUR, or 522,000 USD. That's more than half a million dollars! The money brought by the auctioned Audi A1 will go to Sir Elton John's AIDS Foundation (EJAF).
Last night's fundraiser featured almost 700 VIP guests from around the world who wished to help the research against AIDS. This foundation, which was established back in 1993, manages over £14 million in programmes across 15 countries. Apart from the research mentioned earlier, the foundation also helps with the medication, nutrition, education, shelter and support for millions of people around the globe.
