Apple CEO
Tim Cook donated a coffee date
with himself at the Apple campus to the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice
and Human Rights Spring 2013 Auction, and bidding has already reached more than
a half a million dollars. As of April 26, 2013, coffee with Cook was at
$605,000, with 86 bids so far.
This is the sixth year of the RFK Spring Auction. The proceeds go

According to the organization, previous annual auctions have raised more than
$3.5 million for human rights work. In addition to Cook's coffee date, a lunch date
with Francis Ford Coppola and a tour of the SpaceX Center with Elon Musk are
being offered through charitybuzz.com.
Starting on Aug. 24 2011, Tim
Cook succeeded Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple. Before that he was the COO at the
company. Bidding ends on May 14, 2013.
