In addition to the “Hope for Haiti Now” broadcasts on all major network, cable, and pay channels (with live concerts), there are a number of auctions underway in support of raising funds to benefit the efforts to support the people of Haiti.
Full telethon and donation details can be found at www.HopeForHaiti.com:
Additionally, Oxfam International today launched a series of eBay auctions to raise funds for their charitable efforts. Please note that currently these auctions can only be viewed via the eBay.co.uk site (not eBay.com). All items are listed under eBay user “oxfamshop“. Highlights include a tour jacket worn by Coldplay’s Chris Martin on stage during their Viva La Vida tour (autographed by the band) and Alex Turner’s Fender Stratocaster used to record the Arctic Monkey’s debut No. 1 single “Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor”. Also made available at auction are several sets of full access backstage passes to this year’s Glastonbury concert in June 23rd-27th, one of the biggest annual music events each year.
All listings can currently be found online at eBay.co.uk:
There are additional charity auctions listed on the CharityBuzz.com website, as part of their “Heal Haiti Auction”. Highlights include a number of “experience”-style offerings, one of Chris Martin’s shirts worn on stage in Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” tour signed by the band, VIP passes to Jimmy Kimmel Live, a behind the scenes tour of Christie’s auction house and tea in their boardroom at Rockerfeller Center, an autographed costume worn on stage in concert by Lady Gaga, and many more.
All of these auctions are scheduled to end on February 23rd, with all listings and details found at the www.CharityBuzz.com website:
