Do you want the chance to win a date with Heidi Watney? I know many of the male Red Sox fans would jump at the chance! Heidi is one of the many people joining the Project Cupid event this Saturday to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. If Heidi isn’t your cup of tea, how about Jen Royle?? Project Cupid is an event where you can bid on bachelors or bachelorettes for a date and all the money raised goes to the Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) fund, which is a rare and often fatal subtype of Leukemia.
This is the third year of Project Cupid. It was started by Amy Blue after the death of her nine year old cousin, Isaias Valentin who was battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The idea of love aka auctioning off dates raising money to battle cancer is an ingenious idea. In the last two years, Project Cupid has raised over $12,000 and the organization hopes to raise $25,000 this year.
If you are curious as to who else is being auctioned off head over here and check it out! The event is this Saturday at The Estate in Boston. They are also having an auction with items such as signed jerseys from David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez and Paul Pierce. If you are in the Boston area, The Estate is definitely the place to be this Saturday. Head on over and who knows….maybe you’ll get yourself a fantastic Valentine’s Day Date!
If you aren’t near Boston, but would still love to donate to the cause, you can donate at this link.
Project Cupid can be followed on both twitter and Facebook.
