SUMMARY:ACFNY SUPPORTED | AUCTION | OPERATION BOBBI BEAR
DESCRIPTION:In 2012 Life Ball awarded the project “Operation Bobbi Bear” with the Life Ball Crystal of Hope Award donated by Swarovski endowed with EUR 100,000, which was handed over by Naomi Campbell and Antonio Banderas to the operation´s founder Jackie Branfield.\nJackie Branfield has created an operation which has changed an entire region with a simple but very powerful idea. In the province of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), it is estimated that one in every four girls will be raped by her sixteenth birthday. Operation Bobbi Bear works on behalf of sexually abused and victimized children by helping to minimize their risk of an HIV infection from the moment of rescue, ensuring their health and well being, and bringing their perpetrators to justice.\nTheir court-approved approach, which uses a teddy bear for children to describe their abuse, has helped save thousands of children from being victimized again through retelling their stories.\nLife Ball had decided to support this outstanding project beyond the Crystal of Hope with further fundraising activities which it direly needs to ensure the continuation of this important work.\nTogether with Build-A-Bear® a charity auction campaign was launched: Life Ball has asked fashion designers and international personalities to create unique Build-A-Bear® bears to be auctioned for the benefit of Operation Bobbi Bear.\nLending their creativity to the good cause are personalities such as President Bill Clinton, Sir Elton John, Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone, Heidi Klum, Janet Jackson, Adrien Brody, Vivienne Westwood, Eva Longoria, Jean Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Caroline Scheufele for CHOPARD and many more.\nPresident of Austria, Heinz Fischer, has designed a bear for the auction.
