After a race weekend, Ovomaltine and Didier Cuche auction off a helmet worn by the ski star at the race that has just taken place ten times. The proceeds go to young skiers and to the Porte-Bonheur organization, which has been supporting orphans for years. The helmets, which cost 700 francs and are known for their originality and fun designs, are being sold via the internet portal Ricardo auctioned. Each of the helmets is decorated with a typical symbol of the country in which the race is taking place.
The first auction of three helmets will start on December 15, 2008, when the France helmet that Didier wore in the super combined on Friday and the giant slalom on Saturday in Val d'Isère will be among the items to go under the hammer. The auction will start at one franc and last around ten days.
