Today, MTV Act, in partnership with USAID and the Ad Council, has launched the “MTV Fights Hunger Auction,” an online holiday auction that features garb from celebrities and favorite MTV stars such as the cast of the Jersey Shore. All proceeds go to a group of eight NGOs working on the ground in the Horn of Africa to help victims.
This is the next action of USAID’s FWD Campaign to raise awareness about the crisis, where millions are living without access to regular food and water.
Auctioned items include a signed guitar strap from Nick Jonas, a signed copy of Kelly Clarkson’s new album, an autographed skateboard and deck from champion skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, a signed t-shirt from Trey Songz, and lots of memorabilia from Jersey Shore stars.
Two items are expected to generate a lot of buzz: tickets to a taping of the Jersey Shore after-show in Los Angeles and tickets to MTV’s New Year’s party in Times Square.
The auction will run through December 18th.
Check out the auction items and learn how you can get more involved in stopping the crisis with USAID’s FWD Campaign.
