Paid Inc. & Rotman Furniture Score Big With Sell-out Patriot Signing Event, Raise Funds for Tsunami Relief Effort

WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nearly 2500 sports fans converged on Rotman Furniture on January 11 for a dual Tsunami Relief Silent Auction and a sell-out public signing event with four of the 2004 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots stars hosted by Paid, Inc.'s Celebrity Services (BULLETIN BOARD: PAYD) and Rotman Furniture. Hundreds of fans participated in the silent auction where the sale of autographs sport items donated by Paid Inc. raised $4000 to support the Tsunami relief efforts through the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.

Paid, Inc. and Rotman Furniture thank WXLO and WAAF radio stations for their advance and on-site promotional support that helped draw the record crowd to support the Tsunami benefit and cheer the Patriots stars on to the playoffs.

The signing event with four 2004 AFC East Champion Patriots -- Richard Seymour, Corey Dillon, Tedy Bruschi, and Rodney Harrison -- was completely sold out of all 1200 autograph tickets. In a private signing for Paid, Inc. after the event, the Patriots stars signed hundreds of additional photos and sports items that have sold like hot cakes through Paid's Rotman Auction division on eBay. Late yesterday, the final autographed items were sold bringing the total gross revenues for the signing event to approximately $100,000.

"This was such an incredibly exciting event for us to host. The outpouring of support for the Tsunami relief effort was really touching -- it symbolizes how a community can come together to support people on the other side of the globe," said Rob Riggieri, Paid Inc. Celebrity Promotions Director. "We're so glad we could do something to help those who have been affected."

"The crowds at our signing events continue to grow as we attract the highest caliber of players from the nation's top teams which just happen to be right here in New England," he noted. "The local support for the Patriots is absolutely amazing. Seeing the thrill of the fans, no matter whether they are 7 or 70, when they meet their favorite sports heroes is so rewarding for all of us here at Paid."
