The Game's Hurricane Shoe Will Benefit Hurricane Victims

by: Alyssa Rashbaum

A portion of the sale of each shoe – named after his nickname "Hurricane Game," given to him by his friends for the way he stormed the music industry – will go to the American Red Cross to help them aid victims of the disaster.

In addition, Game is donating his fully customized silver 2005 Bentley Continental GT - given to him by 310 Motoring, the car customization company whom he partnered with to release his "Hurricane" shoe - to Morgan Freeman's Charity Folks auction, to benefit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. One hundred percent of the proceed, less credit card processing fees, will go to hurricane victims through the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

For their part, 310's parent company donated 11,000 pairs of shoes and $50,000 to the American Red Cross.

To bid on the Bentley, visit www.charityfolks.com. The auction closes on September 21, 2005 at 6 pm EST.
