Exclusive Sports Illustrated Photography: Support Homes for Our Troops!

Own a piece of sports history. Help build a home for the brave. One great way to say “Thank you” on Memorial Day.

Through Fujifilm's SeeHere.com sponsorship, Homes for Our Troops is auctioning off six original photo prints by award-winning sports photographer Walter Iooss. The Memorial Day auction proceeds will go to Homes for Our Troops to help continue our mission of building specially-adapted homes for severely injured veterans.

Iooss is well known for his portraits of famous athletes, more than 300 Sports Illustrated cover photos and many Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers. He recently donated several prints from his personal collection to help raise funds for Homes for Our Troops. The auction includes exclusive framed photos of legendary athletes including Jim Brown, Magic Johnson, and Joe Montana -- each valued between $3,000 and $4,000. The “ultimate touchdown” of this collection is “The NFL Experience,” a photo collage from the 1970’s valued at $5,000.

Go to www.homesforourtroops.cmarket.com to bid. Auction is open until May 31 at 8pm EDT
