| ::Orlando Bloom designs a lunchbox for hunger-relief foundation |
 |
| Now you can get your hands on Orlando Bloom’s lunchbox. The Pirates of the Caribbean star is among more than 100 celebrities to design a signed lunchbox for hunger-relief organizations. Online bidding - open to everyone - begins today/tomorrow [fri] and ends on December 21 at www.thelunchboxauction.org. Proceeds benefit the Food Bank for New York City and the Lunchbox Fund of South Africa. The sale starts with a mini-auction tonight/last night [thu] at Manhattan’s Saatchi & Saatchi gallery. Designers including Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mike Myers and Michael Stipe will get to check out their handiwork alongside lunchboxes by the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Eva Mendes, and Natalie Portman. “What’s amazing is the creativity that gets poured into each one,” said spokeswoman Lisa Jakobsberg of the Food Bank, whose fundraising activities help around 1.3 million New Yorkers. The first lunchbox auction, in 2005, raised more than $100,000 USD, with individual lunchboxes selling for “between $100 and tens of thousands of dollars,” Jakobsberg said. http://www.showbizspy.com/2007/12/06/orlando-bloom-designs-a-lunchbox-for-hunger-relief-foundation/ |
