Η MINI αποφάσισε για μια ακόμα φορά να συμβάλει στον αγώνα κατά του AIDS με το δικό της τρόπο. Παντρεύοντας τη μόδα με τη μουσική και το αυτοκίνητο και δημιουργώντας με βάση το στυλ της Katy Perry το Life Ball MINI 2009. Πίσω από τη το αυτοκίνητο αυτό κρύβεται το Αμερικάνικο σχεδιαστικό δίδυμο ‘The Blonds’. Η MINI υποστηρίζει το Life Ball για ένατη συνεχόμενη χρονιά το 2009. Το αυτοκίνητο θα δοθεί στο τυχερό της κλήρωσης που θα γίνει στις 16 Μαΐου 2009 και τα έσοδα από την κλήρωση θα διατεθούν στο Life Ball και σε προγράμματα αφιερωμένα στον αγώνα κατά του AIDS. Μπράβο στη MINI γι αυτή τη κίνηση!
