Dan Carter and Crusty Demons support kids’ charities

AUCKLAND, 08 July 2008 – Kiwi first five Dan Carter and adrenalin junkies’ Crusty Demons go head-to-head on Trade Me this week.

Images of the celebs feature on custom-designed Xbox 360® consoles which are being auctioned for charity.

Luke Smith, NZ-based Crusty Demons rider says, "The team is really stoked with being part of the Xbox 360 Konsoles for Kids auction - it's a great cause and I hope the auction goes really well. It's pretty cool seeing the Crusty Demons image on the Xbox 360!"

Xbox 360® has teamed up with celebrities from TV, sports, music and fashion, and is auctioning off personally-signed celebrity Xbox 360® consoles to raise funds for two deserving charities - The Starship Foundation and Cure Kids in New Zealand.

Each star-studded console has a one-of-a-kind autographed image of a celebrity airbrushed on to it. 100% of proceeds from the auction go to The Starship Foundation and Cure Kids.

Head to www.trademe.co.nz/members/listings.aspx?member=2471704 to bid.

Money raised through the sale of celebrity Xbox 360® consoles is approaching $3000. More than 70 bids were placed on Elemeno P and Jonah Lomu consoles which raised $355 and $365 respectively.

More consoles will be revealed each week until the end of July.

Don’t be shy! Bid for your favourite celebrity-signed console to help make a difference for children’s health in New Zealand.
