Internet Casino Goes Shoe Shopping

[Ronny83]

ST. JOHNS, Antigua, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet casino

GoldenPalace.com went on a shopping spree this weekend at the online Stuart

Weitzman Celebrity Shoe Auction for Breast Cancer Research, purchasing shoes

decorated by: Celine Dion, Hilary Duff, Destiny's Child, Jessica Simpson,

Cher, 50 Cent, Queen Latifah, Pink, Peter Frampton, Alicia Keys, and Macy

Gray.

    The music stars put their own personal touch on each of the shoes such as

rap artist 50 Cent's white and pink crystals on a gray pump along with a

50-cent piece affixed at the heel, and Queen Latifah's regal pump in bright

magenta, with a crown adorning the toe.

    The total amount spent by GoldenPalace.com to buy the shoes was just over

$18,000, with all proceeds going to fund Breast Cancer research in the hopes

of advancing treatment and finding a cure for the deadly disease.

    The online casino recently made headlines when they purchased the Beckham

Ball and the Ellen DeGeneres one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kid through eBay.

Both items have since been used to raise over $200,000 for various charities.

    In order to increase the value of the items, which will be used to make

even more money for charity, GoldenPalace.com intends to send the shoes into

space along with the other items they have bought through auctions. As part of

the Ansari X Prize, GoldenPalace.com has sponsored the da Vinci Project which

will send a commercial spacecraft into sub-orbital space.

    "We are pleased to have helped contribute to this cause and hopefully this

will be a step forward in finding a cure," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard

Rowe. "We intend to use these items to raise even more money for charity in

the near future."
