Cinderella Foundation Bachelor Auction

 

THE Cinderella Project is dedicated to "helping make dreams a reality". Essentially, the group raises money to help underprivileged teens attend things like their graduation ceremonies. Sometimes it's a fancy dress, sometimes its shoes and other times it could be a pair of eyeglasses. Last Friday, at Balthazar restaurant, it was the organization's Prince Charming Bachelor Auction. A lot of North Shore ladies were spotted bidding on some very handsome men. The winners are now going out on a date with their escorts to some very exotic places.

Susanna Li could hardly believe what bachelor Brian Green did on stage to raise bids. I can't tell you either, but let's just say he was a little cheeky.

Executive committee member Christina Sears gave bachelor Kelly Alm a big kiss for participating. Kelly and his date are going out for a night at the Grizzlies.

The big bedroom eyes of bachelor Kal Patel made him a good bid. One lucky lady paid over $300 for a spa and wine tasting date with him.
