Children Around the World Auction Coming to Down Ultra Lounge in Boston, August 10, 2012

A "charity date auction" returns to Boston next month, and it will be raising money for a couple of good causes.

On Friday, August 10, Anthem Entertainment will be hosting its annual Children Around the World auction at the Down Ultra Lounge on High Street. The event, which goes from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, focuses on the "auctioning" of men and women, with each auctionee coming with a date that includes dinner, drinks, and activity for two. A cocktail reception begins the event, followed by the auction, where women and men have the chance to bid on their favorite dates.

Proceeds from the 2012 Children Around the World auction benefit CHOSA, an organization that helps orphans and other vulnerable children in South Africa, and the Boston Police Department's community outreach program, which focuses on Mattapan and nearby areas and helps give youths opportunity and experience outside of their neighborhoods.

The event has a suggested donation of $10, according to the event page (see the link below).
