Medalist Gerbi auctioning Olympics name tag for hospital
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOlympic bronze medalist judoka Yarden Gerbi has put her name tag up for auction on eBay, saying she will use the money to buy medical equipment for a Tel Aviv hospital.
As of now, the top bid stands at $8,700 or NIS 32,852.13, though with five days left to the auction it will likely rise.
Gerbi, whose bronze during the Rio Games made her just the second Israeli woman to win a medal at the Olympics, says donating the proceeds from the ID tag to Sourasky Hospital will make it “more special for society.”
She says she will dedicate the tag to the winning bidder and sign it for them.
