Numerous celebrities, including Adam Lambert and Selena Gomez, recently helped SUBWAY Restaurants to raise funds for Little League Baseball and Softball. This summer the “SUBWAY® Baseball DeSIGNS” tour travelled across the country displaying baseballs designed by Little League players and autographed by celebrities. When the tour ended at the Little League Baseball World Series this month, the balls went on auction on eBay and the auction ended Sunday.
Proceeds from the auction go towards the Little League Urban Initiative for inner-city youth leagues and teams. According to the auction website, “The Little League Urban Initiative funds start-ups, developments, equipment and field maintenance for inner-city Little Leagues.” A total of 63 balls were auctioned off, of which all designs can be seen at the SUBWAY Baseball DeSigns website. Adam Lambert’s signed ball sold for $305, while Selena Gomez brought in $802. Other artists brought in varying amounts, such as the Katy Perry signed ball, which raised $393.88 and the Maroon 5 signed ball, which ended at $108.05.
The “SUBWAY® Baseball DeSIGNS” was a win-win for everyone involved, including the kids and the auction winners.Not only was this auction a great way to support Little League players, but it also provided fans a way of owning one-of-a-kind memorabilia signed by their favorite artists.
