Oakley to Auction Eyewear Signed by Lance Armstrong
Oakley has placed Livestrong Jawbone sunglasses autographed by Lance Armstrong up for auction on eBay. Prooceeds from the auction will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The sunglasses also come with an autographed set of black lenses and has "TdF 2009" printed on the inner surface of the frame to commemorate this year's Tour de France.
"We are honored to help such a noble cause," said Colin Baden, president of Oakley. "We first teamed with Lance decades ago, back when doing the impossible meant defying the limits of performance. Years later, when cancer brought the greatest challenges he had ever faced, Lance did the impossible by defying those limits as well. Today his foundation brings hope to people all over the world. Oakley customers have shown their support by purchasing our special-edition Livestrong products, and with a portion of each sale going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, total contributions are now approaching $2.5 million."
