Backstreet
Boys have teamed up with Nintendo to autograph four Game Boy Colors that
will be featured during the Interactive Digital Software Association's
(IDSA) Nite To Unite For Kids online auction, which benefits children's
charities. Backstreet Boy and video game enthusiast Nick Carter says, "We
love helping worthwhile charities, but it's beyond good when you can have
so much fun doing it. I got to play with my Game Boy Color and benefit
children's charities --too cool."
The four autographed
Game Boy Colors--each with an accompanying autographed black-and-white
photo of the Backstreet Boys--will be featured on the online auction sponsored
by Amazon.com that opens today (October 7) and runs through October 20.
The third annual
Nite To Unite For Kids charity fundraiser brings together the interactive
entertainment industry in support of programs that provide opportunities
for children and teens. This year, proceeds from the benefit will be presented
to the Boys And Girls Club Of America. The IDSA gala reception takes place
October 17 at the Weston St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. For more information
