The Portuguese forward raised the money from the sale of sports shoes by his club's charity foundation, which will dedicate the funds to schools in Gaza following an auction.
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has donated 2,400 euros ($3,273) to Palestinian children in Gaza, the Arabic site of the club's 'Classico' network has revealed.



Ronaldo gave away sports shoes to the foundation, which in turn sold the boots at a public auction and will now dedicate the funds to schools in Gaza.

According to the network, bidding began at 700 euros ($954) and was finally concluded at 2,400 euros.

During his spell at Manchester United, Ronaldo was photographed wearing the Palestinian head cover, the kufiyyeh, which was seen as support for the Palestinian cause.


NOTE: The news(most probably made by R.madrid fans) that "he auctioned his Golden Boot to raise 1.4 million Euros for the cause of Palestine" is fake.
