Federer-Sampras Auction Items to Benefit Charity By Tennis Week
Wednesday, March 05, 2008
A donation and percentage of merchandise sales from the upcoming sold out NetJets Showdown, the much anticipated tennis match between Roger Federer and Pete Sampras, will benefit the Dream Vaccines Foundation and its Promising Malaria Vaccine Program, it was announced today. The NetJets Showdown presented in association with The Marquis Jet Card and Men’s Vogue magazine is scheduled for Monday, March 10 at Madison Square Garden.
The NetJets Showdown is a StarGames production in association with eight-time Grand Slam Champion Ivan Lendl and Madison Square Garden. The match will air live nationally on the Tennis Channel and locally on MSG Plus beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. Additionally, the match will be broadcast internationally in Canada, Brazil, Russia, France, and Australia.
Dream Vaccines Foundation is a not-for-profit; American based public foundation that aspires to be the avenue through which vaccines can be tested and delivered to underserved and poor populations (www.dreamvaccinesfoundation.org).
Dream Vaccines Foundation was established by Mymetics Corporation, a publicly listed biotech company devoted to the development of vaccines against HIV/AIDS and, more recently, malaria. Dream Vaccines Foundation strives to make a positive impact in the fight against the AIDS and malaria pandemics by reducing the number of new infections of these diseases among people.
The Foundation aims to accomplish this by being a transparent avenue for the testing, development, and eventual distribution of vaccines against strains and clades of AIDS and malaria vaccines considered to be “unprofitable” and currently unavailable to the underprivileged in poor populations.
Pre-match entertainment and opening festivities will begin at 6 p.m. with the match slated to begin at 8:3 p.m. Eastern time. The event will be broadcast nationally on the Tennis Channel and locally on MSG Plus with worldwide television and broadband distribution on the www.tvunetworks.com.
Event goers will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction held on location at two MSG sites, with autographed tennis memorabilia among the items being auctioned.
"We believe that access to vaccines is a basic human right that belongs to all, irrespective of location or market limitations," says Christian J. F. Rochet, director and fundraising chairman of Dream Vaccines Foundation, and CEO and president of Mymetics Corporation. "We are delighted to be joined by luminaries from the worlds of sport, entertainment, business and science, to bring attention to worldwide malaria prevention and Dream Vaccines Foundation’s initiative for a vaccine that can help eradicate this terrible disease."
The Foundation is keenly aware of the significant impact new vaccines may have on improving public health and generating economic benefits for underserved and poor populations; especially in third world countries that have been devastated by HIV/AIDS and malaria. The Foundation assumes an ethical responsibility to those suffering from these diseases regardless of strain, location, market limitations or ability to pay.
It is the Foundation’s vision to make vaccines available to all populations threatened by these life-threatening diseases in a world where approximately:
33.2 million people live with HIV
2.5 million people become newly infected with HIV each year
2.1 million lose their lives to AIDS each year
Three hundred million to five hundred million people suffer from malaria, resulting in an estimated one to 2.7 million deaths each year
For more information about the Foundation, please visit www.dreamvaccinesfoundation.org.

I wish I could be as lucky as you, but my seats are in the 300's
I'm happy to be at MSG to soak up the atmosphere. Let me know where you will be meeting, I'm heading straight after work.
Perhaps the Dream Vaccines Foundation could allocate some funds for the development of an Epstein-Barr virus vaccine.

there will be a free livestream here http://pages.tvunetworks.com/viewers/viewComingEvents.do
Yeah actually I simply don't understand. It IS a lot of money but can it be that they REALLY do it just for money? They drown in money already.
I don't think I can accept it, honestly...
Exactly.
The rest of us are just pawns in their dark schemes. Who runs the world, really? Certainly not us.
Elections are just entertainment which has nothing to do with real power.
