Great night in Miami for Charity... The Sparks Superbowl Experience helped raise money for charity with the sell of a 2010 Shelby Supersnake, helped 135 kids recieve their hearing aids through the Starkey Hearign Foundation.

The list of music and big screen celebrities who posses a passion for automotive adrenaline reads like a Who's Who of the world's car nuts – but one name that sits high on that list might come as a surprise for many. Jordin Sparks, the 20-year-old American Idol winner and pop music sensation, takes maximum performance muscle cars very, very seriously.

So seriously, in fact, that when it came time to find a high-profile item to auction off at her annual Super Bowl weekend fundraiser gala, Ms. Sparks turned to her favorite muscle car builder, Shelby Automotive, for a uniquely customized Shelby GT 500 Super Snake coupe.

The one-off Super Snake coupe – christened the Jordin Sparks Special Edition – was swathed in a brilliant red paint scheme and has numerous unique touches beyond, of course, the substantial Shelby upgrades. Although it started life as a standard Shelby GT 500, the Super Snake package thoroughly revises the modern day muscle car with a supercharger, a fiberglass ram-air hood, Baer brakes and a track-ready suspension.

Ms. Sparks' passion for performance gene was passed on to her by her father, former New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys NFL cornerback Phillipi Sparks. Together, the two form an enthusiastic pair of genuine car nuts.

Held February 3-5 in Miami Beach, Florida, the celebrity-lined soiree also served as the launching pad for Jordin and her brother P.J.'s “I'm M.A.D., Are You?” campaign Jordin and P.J. are encouraging others to “Make A Difference” by helping out those in need in ways that suit their individual passions.

The two Sparks siblings, as well as a host of other sports and entertainment celebrities, delivered teddy bears to young patients at the Miami Children's Hospital as part of the Jordin Sparks Experience festivities.

Jordin's gala was sponsored by the Carroll Shelby Foundation, which donated the headline auction item. Proceeds from the sale benefited Sparks Charities and the M.A.D – Making A Difference – campaign.
