SUNDAY'S SNIPPET
Sunday's snippets is my original idea to share something a bit 'out of the ordinary'...yet, newsy without being of crimes, wars, hate and such that the media tends to over saturate the papers/tv/internet. I wanted Sunday to be a bit 'peaceful' and enjoyable with meaningless stature or perhaps something of an intersting-helpful value!!
Today's topic is Children -Children's Hospice Coalition to be exact.
This past two weeks, beginning December 4th and ending December 14th, the oh so talented man of my dreams, Johnny Depp, among other celebrites donated items to be auctioned off to raise funds for children in need. (Johnny Depp's "Today is a gift, have fun" bracelet you often see him wearing can be purchased to help with funds also)
To continue with the 'happy' story of charities from celebrities (this is always a feel-good for me, reading about such happenings)....Mr. Depp did a self portrait of his recurring role as Captain Jack Sparrow on a bowling ball. And this past ten days, it was auctioned off. The bids started at $75.00 (USA currency)...in ten days' time the top bid was $2,360.51 (USA)!!
I don't have my normal newsprint scanned this week, but I do have the photo from the auction here --
The winning bidder is Sheila! It's a treasure!
Also, among other items, were "A day with Melissa Gilbert" --top bid was $1225.00 (winning bid was from Stephen) - Lunch with Mandy Moore -- bidding topped close to $5 grand!! - FX's Nip and Tuck VIP passes bidding for over $6,000 - many many others!! The top item auctioned off this past week was Andy Warhol's "John Wayne" original screenprint going for over $34 grand!
All proceeds, 100%, goes to the benefit of the Children's Hospice!! All totalling nearly $60,000.00. Awesome...like I said, this particular item is a feel good story...when we're all so busy charging and purchasing gifts for our family and friends, the hard working celebrities and well-knowns have it in their hearts to give to the needy as we all should!!!
God Bless them, each and every one!!
