We are in a rare position to offer both an online and "in-person" live auction of this signed, authenticated 16 x 20 framed photo of Kobe Bryant at the spirited Eugene, High Street McMenamins Brewery & Cafe on May 19th, 2020 during our"Family and Friends" night. 50% of all proceeds from McMenamins that whole day go to "A Smile for Kids" and orthodontic treatment of under-resourced Eugene and Springfield kids where it would otherwise not be possible. Kobe signed this framed photo knowing that it would only be used to raise funding for nonprofits and not for commercial selling. In spite of any sadness around the passing of Kobe, the Bryants' daughter Gianna and their friends recently, we are honored to obtain this signed photo through the "Charity Fundraising Organization" and we will carefully follow the wishes of Kobe to only use the memorabilia for non-profit fundraising purposes. We cannot control what happens after the photo is sold, but we ask that the buyer with the winning bid does the same. If you want to support A Smile for Kids during the event, but can not be present, we encourage you to participate online as the auction has started now and ends May 19th at 9:00 pm.
The highest bidder will take home the framed signed photo (yes, it will be present at McMenamins) in addition to the forensic authentication certificate. If you are participating in the auction online, we will find a different way to get you the framed signed photo after the event on May 19.
