Brett Lee's items auctioned for his foundation

On the 25^th July, Rotary Club of Bombay held an auction of Brett Lee’s personal items, at a dinner hosted at the Pal
ladium Hotel, Mumbai. On offer were personally autographed cricket bats and balls, handcrafted sterling silver cuff links, a signed Biography, Brett’s Kings XI Punjab jerseys, dinner and coffee with Brett amongst other things. The auction led by Mandira Bedi and Brett Lee himself,  saw some spirited bidding from the guests present, knowing that the money was for a great cause.  All proceeds from the auction were matched by the Rotary Club, and donated to the Mewsic India Foundation.

During the informal interaction session, Brett shared interesting anecdotes about his cricketing days, his numerous trips to India and his motivation to set up the Mewsic India Foundation. The power of Music has helped Brett get through some tough times in his own life, and as a father of a young son, he felt deeply motivated to help the children in slum communities get music tuitions and experience the power of Music. This inspired and galvanized the audience to pledge their support for the work through personal donations to the foundation.

The evening was a great success, as not only did it give the guests wonderful memories but also raised significant rupees  for the foundation.
