Seven Sharp Gets Behind Typhoon Haiyan Relief Efforts With Celebrity Auction
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Top Kiwi celebrities are joining TV ONE’s Seven Sharp in a special auction to support Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts in the Philippines.

Big names including Sir Peter Jackson, Lorde and David Tua have been quick to donate goods to the Trade Me auction, set up by Seven Sharp to get essential supplies to those in need following last week’s devastating typhoon in the islands.

Bids are flying in for red hot items including a barbecue with the Mad Butcher, Sir Peter Leitch; a pair of boxing gloves signed by David Tua and Joseph Parker; a poster signed by Lorde and tickets to the Vodafone Music Awards; and a signed deluxe DVD edition of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, from Sir Peter Jackson.

Also adding to the mix are contributions from Kim Dotcom, Lydia Ko, the 2012 Olympic Gold medal-winning New Zealand Rowing Team, Anika Moa, visiting US rappers Salt ‘N Pepa, Trelise Cooper and the Seven Sharp presenters themselves.

Seven Sharp executive producer, Raewyn Rasch, is ecstatic with the response to the auction so far.

“Kiwi celebrities have leapt at the chance to help those in need, and given New Zealand a great chance to get behind emergency efforts,” says Rasch.

“We’re proud to help the Typhoon Haiyan relief fund to get important supplies to those in need,” she says.

The public have until this Friday to get their bids in, with all proceeds going to Oxfam’s relief effort.
