Sports Celebrity Dream Package: Charity Auction http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/images/shim.gif

We've all daydreamed about inviting a sports hero to dinner. The year's Christmas Book charity event makes those dreams come true ... and helps make families safer at home.

Be the high bidder and purchase our Dream Package, and you and three of your lucky guests will enjoy VIP travel, accommodations, and tickets to six incredible pro sports events: the 2007 NHL® All-Star Game in Dallas; Super Bowl XLI® in South Florida; the 2007 NBA® All-Star Game in Las Vegas; the 2007 Major League Baseball® All-Star Game in San Francisco; the 2007 US Open Tennis Championships Women's Final in Queens, NY; and a bonus surprise event (it's a secret, but you're going to love it). Amazing, but it gets much better. While at each event, your group will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share a private meal with a living legend from that sport. Talk Stanley Cup® prospects with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. Get football insight from Super Bowl quarterback Troy Aikman. Ask basketball legend Magic Johnson how he perfected his jump shot. Discuss the finer points of pitching with Baseball Hall-of-Famer® Bob Gibson. Get Chris Evert to analyze the US Open Women's Final for you. Learn how to play that tricky hole at your favorite Arnold Palmer-designed golf course from the man himself. The very best part: 100% of the gross proceeds from our online auction will benefit the Joe Torre Safe At Home® Foundation. The exceptional foundation is dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence and making sure every child has the kind of home he or she deserves, where they are safe, loved, happy, and healthy. Sadly baseball manager and former All-Star Joe Torre witnessed abuse and violence as a child and knows firsthand the devastation it causes. In creating this foundation in memory of his dear mother, Margaret, Joe has established a resource for community education and awareness as well as safe rooms in schools, known as Margaret's Place, for children to go to. Our Dream Package can make your dreams come true, and most importantly, it can profoundly affect the lives of children and make their dream of being happy come true. All in all, it is a win-win situation of epic proportions. Pre-qualification for the online auction will start October 3, 2006. The auction launch date is Tuesday, November 7, 2006, at 5:00 P.M. PST, running for ten days and ending on November 17, 2006, at 5:00 P.M. PST. The suggested minimum starting bid is $250,000. Only one Dream Package is available. For more information on how to participate in this ultimate online event, please call 1.877.9NM.GIFT. The Kompolt Online Auction Agency has been retained to manage this auction.

Luxury accommodations will be provided by the award-winning Ritz-Carlton hotels in South Beach (Miami), Lake Las Vegas, San Francisco, and New York's Battery Park (travel accommodations of equal value will be provided in Dallas and the location of the bonus surprise event); with first-class travel via American Airlines®.
