Game Day 2010 at the Playboy Mansion Benefits Motorcycle Charity

Cash for your car

As the Saints and Colts squared off in Miami, hundreds of celebrities and fans gathered at the world famous Playboy Mansion to watch the Super Bowl in style. The game on February 7th marked the most watched single telecast in U.S. history, finally besting the decades-old record set by the finale of “M*A*S*H” with 106.5 million viewers. Whether or not the Super Bowl lived up to the hype is debatable, but Playboy’s party was one for the ages. Drinks flowed freely as guests lounged by the pool, watching the game on giant plasma screens.

Playboy proved once again to be a host with a conscience – sending proceeds from the party and accompanying silent auction to benefit Motorcycle Charity Associates Inc.

At auction were hundreds of rare collectibles from sports and entertainment history, along with several custom motorcycles
