二〇一四年十月五日於香港舉行之當代亞洲藝術拍賣會將呈獻奧瑞爾《青花狗（龍與鳳）》，作品拍賣所得將捐予「運動燃希望基金」。法國藝術家奧爾於一九六三年出生，八十年代後期在藝術界嶄露頭角。奧瑞爾的「青花狗」作品被視為人們反省自身的象徵，並因此成為藝術家的常用創作主題。是次上拍的一對「青花狗」特於中國陶瓷之都景德鎮製作。而作品拍賣所得款項在扣除開支後，將全數捐予「運動燃希望基金」。運動燃希望基金的使命是為香港及大中華地區具運動天賦而缺乏財政支援的青少年提供資助，讓他們能一展所長。運動燃希望基金會透過運動獎勵計劃、運動心理學、運動營養、運動物理治療和在海外的多元文化環境下接受與運動有關的教育，為他們提供充裕的運動訓練支援，從而鼓勵他們全面培養及發揮體育精神。除了協助他們裝備自己參與精英水平的比賽外，運動燃希望基金之最終目標是幫助運動員建立信任、培養堅毅不拔的信念、提高自信心和社會責任心等方面的個人全面發展。
