Former
Enron Execs Office Furniture on e-Bay for Charity
Custom Desks Used by Ken Lay, Richard Kinder & Jeff
Skilling Auctioned
HOUSTON, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Saving Animals
announced today its receipt of the executive desk used
exclusively by Mr. Ken Lay, Founder, Chairman and CEO of
Enron, from 1987 through 2002 (e-Bay Item: 220091903388)
and the executive desk used by Mr. Richard Kinder and
Mr. Jeffrey Skilling during the time they served as
president of Enron (e-Bay Item: 220091904569). The
custom furnishings were donated to Saving Animals, a
non-profit animal protection organization. The charity
will auction the items exclusively on e-Bay through
March 24, 2007 with all proceeds benefiting the group's
spay, neuter and adoption programs.
The one-of-a kind desks were designed by Gensler
Architects and fabricated by Brochstein's, one of the
nation's premiere manufacturers of custom fitted
architectural furniture. According to Brochstein's, the
desks, which feature elegant Makore Pommelle veneers,
would cost well into five-figures if manufactured today.
The documents of provenance, which confirm the
authenticity of the pieces, will be available for review
and the originals will be provided to successful
bidders.
Saving Animals was selected as the recipient of the
unique gift because of its commitment to the City of
Houston and its citizens in addressing the tragedy of
pet-overpopulation by providing sterilization surgeries
for dogs and cats, preventing homeless animals, and
promoting pet adoptions.
Sean Hawkins, Founder and President of Saving Animals
reminds, "It is fitting that something positive will
come from the sale of the Enron Building to help the
community. By spaying or neutering pets, and promoting
adoption of homeless animals, we're keeping strays off
the streets and creating a healthy community for animals
and people," said Hawkins.
