The Ludacris Foundation and Sandrarose.com are teaming up to take one lucky male winner on a $500 shopping spree!

The private shopping spree will take place next Wednesday, April 21 at a private location in Atlanta. The winner (and his guest) will be invited VIP guests of Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, actress Gabrielle Union and DTP CEO Chaka Zulu.

In addition to new clothes, the winner will be presented with a limited edition Polo Purple Label tie designed exclusively by Ludacris and Chaka Zulu. No expense has been spared in the creation of the fabrics nor in the making of the actual tie.

The fabric will be woven in England, and the tie will be hand made in Italy. The fabric is 100% silk. The tie is black with a slim purple stripe, and an exclusively designed Ludacris Foundation crest jacquard woven into the fabric. A special label which says: “The Ludacris Foundation A Limited Edition of One Hundred” will be woven into the small end of the tie.

The tie will retail for $200. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from sales of the tie will be donated to The Ludacris Foundation. A special card will be created to be included in each tie box that speaks to the meaning of the crest; including the Dove, The Hand in Armor and The Gold Chevron symbols on the crest.

Chaka Zulu, CEO of DTP, has personally purchased 107 of the ties — at a cost of over $20,000 — to present to the entire graduating class of Chicago’s Urban Prep charter school, who have all been accepted to colleges of their choice.

The recession has hit men, blacks and Hispanics especially hard. So we want to do something for a male reader who has recently lost his job, or is currently going on interviews for a new job.

To win, just leave a comment explaining why you should win — or if you’re a female: why you think your husband/boyfriend should win.

The winner will be selected tomorrow, April 16. Special thanks to Jamal Coleman (pictured below) of J. Coleman Presents; and The Ludacris Foundation!
