VFTW's 2nd Annual Charity Drive For Relay For Life

It's almost time for our 2nd Annual Vote for the Worst Charity drive. Our initial campaign last year was a great success as we raised $3823 for Relay for Life to help support the American Cancer Society. This year we're asking for help to find items we can auction off for this great cause. Click read more for the full information on how to help us by donating an item or send an e-mail to vftwcharity@yahoo.com.

Last year's VFTW Relay for Life fundraiser was a huge success! We received so many great items, highlighted by an object signed both by David Cook and David Archuleta which sold for $1000...

 

This year, we're looking to get our greatest resource- our readers and members-involved in getting us items for the auction. We welcome stuff from past contestants who people still have an interest in but we'd especially love to get stuff from this year's cast (I'm dreaming of a Danny Gokey signed Bible lol). Try to think of what would be of value to people out there...signed pics and items, clothes, etc. It could be anything, really. Don't be afraid to be creative!

If you have any items to donate, please contact me (smarterthanpickler) by sending me a private message here or emailing me at vftwcharity@yahoo.com

100% of proceeds go to the cause.
If you don't want to bid on an item and would just like to donate, please contact me through the ways mentioned above. Everything can be done anonymously if you wish. But time is of the essence...the deadline to submit items is the week of April 7th. The quicker you submit
things, the less expensive postage will be. Contact us if you have anything to donate and we'll give you details where to send it to. Bidding will begin on eBay the week of April 14th and close the week of April 21st.

So we're counting on you, Worsters! Who knows...a pair of Adam Lambert's pants could cure cancer!

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Long time lurker - first time poster....

This is really cool of you guys to do. I started a charity to help kids with Heart Defects and because of the economy donations are definitely taking a hit. Every penny that comes in is GREATLY appreciated by all of the NPO's out there right now. Keep up the good work and pick me next year :-)

I'd be willing to donate one of Paula's (i.e. Tatiana's!) rings for the cause...

...but they're all on Waitlist at HSN so I don't think they'll be available in time for the auction. :(

...I found a Cheetoh that sorta looks like Lil Rounds if you hold it at the right angle. Sorry guys, that's going to be as close an auction item that I could offer. However, I'll gladly bid for the cause, especially if you can get a hold of something really cool like a signed Simon Bro or Paula's boot-flask.

Guys, I couldn't find a place to post sorry to ruin the mood but:
Since Alexis is gone that proves the idol staffer was either faking or drunk.
VFTW fail.... the show is not rigged.
