The WaterAid Celebrity Boot Auction
23/10/2008
› Hunter for WaterAid Boot
To celebrate the collaboration between Hunter Boot and Glastonbury's official charity WaterAid - dedicated to providing the world's poorest people with access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation - a number of high profile celebrities were invited to customise and sign the limited edition WaterAid welly at this year's Glastonbury Festival. The wellies were designed exclusively for WaterAid and the world famous Glastonbury Festival to raise money for the ‘Hunter for WaterAid' project, dedicated to helping people in remote regions of Madagascar.
In true Glastonbury Festival fashion, the auction brings together the top players of the music world from Jay-Z and Noel Gallagher to Groove Armada, The Verve and Amy Winehouse. Offering something for every music fan and festival lover the auction includes boots signed by Mercury Prize winners Elbow, Scotland's finest The Fratellis and one of America's most talented exports, the Kings of Leon.
The celebrity boots on auction are:
Jay-Z | Alex James | The View | Noel Gallagher | Arctic Monkeys | Amy Winehouse | The Verve | Elbow | The Feeling | KT Tunstall | Goldfrapp | New Young Pony Club | The Enemy | Groove Armada | Kings of Leon | The Fratellis | John Mayer | Mark Ronson | James Blunt | Kate Moss | Katie Melua
The signed boots will be available on www.ebay.co.uk/wateraid from Thursday 13th November and all proceeds are donated to the WaterAid Madagascar project.
To celebrate the launch of the WaterAid Celebrity Boot Auction on eBay, Hunter has teamed up with uber cool footwear retailer Office who will be hosting the event at their flagship store on Carnaby Street. With DJs spinning a mix of Glastonbury classics whilst Carlsberg supplies the beer and Mother Mash provides specially customised Hunter welly pies, this is nothing less but the perfect way to celebrate a successful festival season.
A limited number of unsigned boots are also available for sale exclusively through the Hunter website. A donation of £50 goes towards the initiative for every unsigned pair sold.
