Chicago Man is Flying Nonstop on JetBlue for 30 Days. Auctioning Himself as Human Billboard. Entire Proceeds to Benefit Children in Africa
To raise support and create awareness for a new elementary school in Zambia Africa, Greg Krause has committed to fly, virtually non-stop, via jetBlue airlines for 30 consecutive days. He is auctioning off the rights to advertise on himself during the course of this journey. The entire amount of the winning bid will be donated to a help new elementary school located in Zambia, Africa.
Chicago, IL, September 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Greg Krause will be flying over 55,000 miles on close to 50 flights and passing through 25 different cities. During the course of this extensive 30 day journey, he is offering himself as a "human billboard." Krause purchased the jetBlue "All You Can Jet Pass" that was available for a limited time. This pass has allowed him to book the unprecedented itinerary. All funds raised from this project will be donated to a new elementary school that is being built in the remote village of Macha, Zambia.
You might remember Krause from 2008, when he auctioned himself off and agreed to run a marathon in New York wearing pajamas. The California based company Green Pharmaceuticals, maker of SnoreStop, won that auction for $9,000. The entire bid went to help the same school in Zambia, Africa.
Four years ago Krause’s parents were asked to come to Zambia to help start a much needed elementary school. Today that school has over 75 students and a boarding home for the many of orphaned and abandoned children of the region. Commented Krause, "Thanks to the hard work of my parents and many other people, this school is giving these children an opportunity to achieve their maximum potential. There are many needs at the school and I want do everything I can to help them out. Every little bit makes a difference in the lives of these children.”
Krause is hoping to top last years effort. The eBay auction ends mid day on September 2, 2009. He is confident that a generous corporate bidder will step up to take advantage of this marketing project and at the same time, help the new school. "The winning bidders’ advertisement will be seen and talked about by countless people. Everyone wins," says Krause. "The winner of this eBay auction will benefit from extensive brand visibility, and the children at the school in Macha, Zambia will benefit from the support raised by the auction."
