Boston, MA (November 25, 2008) -   GO211.com (www.go211.com), the premier action sports
social networking and online video share site announced “Hannah’s Benefit Auction”.
Go211.com, in partnership with Olympic Gold Medalist and Go211 Pro Team Rider Hannah
Teter, is hosting the exclusive online auction, with proceeds from “Hannah’s Benefit Auction”
going to the Water and Sanitation Project in Kirindon, Kenya, which is the community that
Hannah's Gold charity has been helping to support for the past 2 years.  “Hannah’s Benefit
Auction” can be accessed at http://www.go211.com/worldvision/items/.


   After receiving the Gold Medal at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Hannah had an opportunity to
realize her dream to give back to those in need, and encourage others to do the same.  She
chose to adopt the community of Kirindon in the African country of Kenya, and make a long
term commitment to help the children and families who struggle each day against the effects
of poverty and AIDS.  AIDS has already orphaned 5,000 children in this community and this
number is growing day by day.  Fifty primary schools, two secondary schools and five
community medical dispensaries attempt to serve the education and health needs of Kirindon's
56,000 inhabitants.  A lack of educational opportunities, economic instability and limited
access to clean drinking water contribute to the fundamental problems facing this community.

   The goal of "Hannah's Benefit Auction" is to raise money to help reduce the number of
waterborne illnesses in the Kirindon, Kenya community by bringing clean water to this vast
rural area. This project will allow the people to have clean water within a 15 minute walk
instead of walking long distances to collect contaminated water from ponds and streams. For
more information on the project go to www.teter.org.


   Among the items being auctioned on Go211.com:
       • Weekend of snowboarding with Hannah at Sierra-at-Tahoe
       • Burton FeelGood Snowboard
       • Burton Boots and Bindings
       • Burton Outerwear
       • Gravis Shoes
       • Anon Eyewear
       • Nixon Watch
       • Amp Energy Drinks
      • Red protective gear
