Guests at the upcoming teen “Head to Toe” Fashion Show will have the chance to make a bid to win a new iPad2 thanks to the generosity of the Best Buy in Naples. “We’re proud to be a sponsor of K is for Kids Foundation,” said Brandon Velez, community relations coordinator. Valued at close to $500, bids for the silent auction will begin at just $40!
It’s easy to see why the iPad2 will be a popular item to win: There are reportedly over 140,000 apps available just for the iPad. Now with iOS 5 and iCloud, the iPad2 can store content and pushe it wirelessly to all of someone’s devices. Billed as “remarkably thin and light,” the iPad2 features a dual-core A5 Chip and 10-hour battery, giving it strong reviews for performance.

We’ll be so excited to see which lucky bidder will win what might be an early holiday gift!”
Thank you, Best Buy, for becoming a sponsor of K is for Kids Foundation and our Teen Advisory Team!
