Oprah's Angel Network/Set Chairs
http://oprahsangelnetwork.org/
In 2003, The HF bid in Oprah’s first-ever eBay charity auction to benefit her Angel Network. Oprah autographed two Ralph Lauren chairs that had been part of the set of her talk show for several years. Our winning bid for the chairs resulted in an invitation to appear on the show, and The HF subsequently sponsored an “international road tour” for the chairs. The chairs visited schools and public libraries, where people (especially children!) were encouraged to have a seat and share the love of reading. The visits inspired several library fundraising events. At the end of the tour, the chairs were donated to the Buffalo Broadcasters Association.
