Humvee Auction Benefits Fisher House

Week of October 30, 2006

CNN is putting an overhauled Humvee that saw action during the war in Iraq on the auction block and will donate the proceeds to the Fisher House Foundation. Nicknamed "Warrior One," the Humvee will be the subject of an upcoming episode of "Overhaulin'," a highly rated program on The Learning Channel Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. EST. After Warrior One tours military bases and other sites across the country, the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co., a classic car auction house, will auction the vehicle Jan. 20 at its headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz. Fisher Houses provide temporary residences for families of patients receiving major medical care at military and Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers.
