Tim Cook Charity Lunch Auction Ends, Earning $330,001 for RFK Center

[Gasu E.]

"...winner of the auction will be able to meet with Tim Cook for approximately one hour..."

Heaven forbid, that lunch should go over 1 hour - nice culture at Cupertino!

Perhaps English is not your native language-- you should ask one of your friends what "approximately" means.

Tim Cook's second CharityBuzz auction, for a one hour lunch meeting with Cook at Apple's Cupertino headquarters, ended today at $330,001. Bids for this year's auction were quite a bit more reserved than the coffee charity meeting Cook auctioned last year, which brought in $610,000.

The money earned from the auction will benefit the RFK Center for Justice & Human Rights, a charity that aims to achieve "a just and peaceful world by partnering with human rights leaders, teaching social justice and advancing corporate responsibility."

On May 10, Tim Cook added an additional benefit for the auction winner -- a VIP guest spot at an upcoming Apple event, announced on Twitter.

​

Following multiple shill bids last year, CharityBuzz implemented a credit card authorization requirement for all bidding customers, a policy that may explain why this year's auction was ultimately less popular with bidders.

(Thanks, Eric!)

Eh? They are doing a lot charity. Guys reading all these comments about Apple is not doing x, Apple should give more money to x, Mavericks didn't works for me ecc... you are all quite whiners. Buy a really nice PC and enjoy.

Their way of doing charity is to ask people to give their own money.
AAPL are not spending a coin.
