Sipahh Mango Straw Auction

Sipahh Mango Straw Auction

Small Aussie brand, Sipahh, is hoping to brighten the lives of seriously ill children by raising $5,000 for Starlight Children's Foundation.

To raise the money Sipahh is hosting Australia's first ever social media mango straw auction, emulating the famous mango auctions which are held at Sydney's Paddy's Markets and Melbourne's Queen Victoria Markets each year to usher in the new mango harvest. Sipahh will put up 100 of their exclusive, never been tasted by anyone outside Sipahh HQ, mango-flavoured straws. Mango enthusiasts and those looking to donate to a good cause are encouraged to make bids via the brand's Facebook page on September 3 2014.

Starlight Children's Foundation's CEO, Louise Baxter, said: 'We're grateful for the support of Sipahh and are pleased to be the benefactor of Sipahh's inaugural mango straw auction.  We hope to see this auction build its success year on year to help us continue to support sick kids around Australia." 

Starlight is Australia's broadest-reaching children's charity and last year, supported more than 136,000 seriously ill children and their families.

Eight-year-old James Pashos who is one of Sipahh's 12 VIP Tasting Testing Panel said; 'It's pretty special to auction the first ever box of Mango Smoothie Sipahh Straws, as no one has ever tried them outside of the taste testing panel – I've been lucky enough to taste it, and it's delicious.'

To participate, email your opening bid to mangoauction@sipahh.com.au, before 3 September, then bid live on September 3 on Sipahh Australia's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sipahh.australia. The auction closes on 5pm that day.

Australia's first mango straw auction coincides with the launch of Sipahh's first ever Milk Lovers Family Pack. Four times the original size, the new packs contain 40 wholesome straws, with less than half a teaspoon of per straw.

Flaunting three brand new flavours including Raspberry Fields, Mango Smoothie and Velvet Vanilla, taking the range to 13 straws; the new 40 pack was developed in response to increasing consumer demand – more straws per box, allowing for easy every day consumption. Flavours include:
Mango Smoothie
Velvet Vanilla
Raspberry Fields
Luscious Strawberry

Mellow-Yellow Banana Smoothie
Chilled-Out Choc Mint

Okey-Dokey Cookies & Cream
