Dhoni gear auctioned to raise funds for cancer patients

An autographed warrior costume from MS Dhoni’s iconic Captain Cool role in the Snicker’s advertisement, along with the number 7 jersey worn by him in the ad, is being auctioned online to raise money for cancer patients.

Proceeds from this sale will benefit The Leukemia Lymphoma Foundation, a unit of Tata Memorial Hospital, 80% of whom have an annual income of less than Rs. 30,000.

The items are available on www.SaltScout.com, and fans around the world can place their bids.

The Dhoni charity auction item was donated by Keroscene Films, which produced the ad, and generously enabled by Snickers and MS Dhoni. SaltScout remains grateful that MS Dhoni took time from his demanding schedule to personally sign the item, in support for the cause.
