Armstrong Foundation to Hold Auction

NEW YORK (AP) -- An auction of 15 yellow designer items will be held next
month as part of an effort to raise $6 million for the Lance Armstrong
Foundation.

The auction will run July 6-16, it was announced this week. Oscar de la
Renta donated a yellow dress and clutch from the spring/summer 2004
collection worth $15,000; Manolo Blahnik donated a pair of suede banana
boots; Louis Vuitton is giving a custom-made yellow Epi hatbox; and Robert
Lee Morris has donated an 18-karat yellow gold bracelet worth $7,000.

The yellow items symbolize the color of the leader's jersey at the Tour de
France, which Armstrong has won five straight times, and also Armstrong's
battle to fight cancer.
