The Refugees International Japan Annual Grand Auction

Extract from the official Refugees International Japan homepage:

Over the last six years the Refugees International Japan’s Annual Grand Auction has netted an amazing ¥125 million, benefiting more than 450,000 people.
国際難民支援会は、過去6回のオークションで、1億2千5百万円もの支援金を集め、45万人以上の人々を援助してきました。 

On 3 June 2011, we hosted our 6th Annual Grand Auction at the Ritz Carlton, Tokyo. It was a lively evening with magicians, Kenji Akahoshi and David John, adding to the ‘magic’. Once again, J-WAVE radio host, Ms. Minami Mibu, set a great mood throughout the event as MC and experienced auctioneer Mr. Motoki Tami led the guests through an exciting list of auction items.

The highest bid was 1,400,000 yen for the Cambodian Resort Tour. The silent auction featured 24 exciting lots including a whisky specially produced in support of rebuilding in Tohoku. Thanks to the energetic bidding of our guests, the evening netted a commendable 12 million yen.

第6回グランドオークションは、昨年6月3日にリッツ・カールトンホテル東京で開催されました。マジシャンの赤星　賢志氏とDavid John氏が各テーブルでマジックを披露し、J-Waveのナビゲーター、壬生南さんがオークションの雰囲気を盛り上げ、経験豊富なオークショナー、谷元樹氏が数々の賞品を紹介し、カンボジアへのリゾートツアーがその夜の最高額140万円で落札されました。サイレントオークションには、24の素晴らしい賞品が提供されました。東日本大震災の復興支援のために特別に醸造されたウイスキーも提供されました。多くのゲストの方々の熱心なビッドのおかげで、1千2百万円もの支援金が得られたことに感謝いたします。
