   About this nonprofit:
Support relief and recovery efforts in the Abruzzo region of Italy, where a 6.3 quake has killed more than

100 and left 40-50,000 homeless, with tent cities set up to home those who have lost homes.

On April 6, 2009, the deadliest Italian earthquake in over 15 years struck the Abruzzo mountain region of Italy, with the town of L’Aquila at its epicenter. Nearly 300 people killed, more than 1,000 injured, and as many as 65,000 residents displaced. Many of those who lost their homes are still living in tent cities.

GlobalGiving.org is an organization that connects donors with community-based projects that need support. The GlobalGiving Italy Earthquake Relief and Recovery Fund focuses on various efforts to rehabilitate the Abruzzo region, which include rebuilding communities, reestablishing local markets to stimulate the local economy and delivering basic necessities such as food, blankets and clothing.

Salvatore Ferragamo is proud to partner with GlobalGiving in this ongoing relief effort. On June 2, Ferragamo menswear designer, Massimiliano Giornetti, along with Debi Mazar and Adrian Grenier, will host a star studded event at the Salvatore Ferragamo boutique in Beverly Hills. Ten percent of the evening’s sales will benefit the Relief and Recovery Fund, while Debi Mazar will lead an enthusiastic group of fashionable and philanthropic influencers in a live auction.

Now is your chance to support the cause with the Celebrity Handbag Auction. Ferragamo handbags generously donated and signed by Madonna, Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Longoria, Lucy Liu, Dita Von Teese, Lily Tomlin, and Marisa Tomei, as well as a Kenny Scharf customized handbag, donated by Debi Mazar are available for you to bid on, while supporting this most worthy cause.

The auction officially begins at 7pm PST on June 2, 2009 and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to GlobalGiving’s Italy Earthquake Recovery and Relief Fund.
