Brazilian team shirt signed by Pele nets $16,000 for charity at BIS Awards

The BIS Awards, held as part of the BIS SiGMA Americas event, began with a welcome reception in the lobby of the Um Rooftop. Live pop and rock serenaded guests, creating a perfect environment for executives to network before the start of the ceremony.

Hosted by Elia Junior, the gala evening acknowledged winners across competitive categories such as Best Marketing Campaign and Best Games Producer. The event also held a charitable auction, with items including a Brazilian team shirt autographed by the legendary player Cafu, a guitar autographed by Zezé de Camargo, and a Brazilian team shirt autographed by the late Pelé. Unsurprisingly, the latter received a huge amount of interest, resulting in a fierce bidding war. It closed the auction with the highest bid of the night – bringing in $16,000.
