Will Ferrell is lending a helping hand to an old frat buddy by auctioning off a cameo in his next movie, Step Brothers. The role is a non-speaking role as an extra, but no doubt Ferrell will make sure you get your time in the spotlight. From the eBay listing,

“Will has teamed up with one of his friends and USC fraternity brothers, Craig Pollard, to support Pollard’s non-profit Cancer for College. Will is offering the spot in his new movie in order to raise the most money possible for the foundation. Cancer for College was created by Pollard, a two-time survivor of Hodgkins’ disease to provide college scholarships to current and former cancer patients. Since it’s inception in 1993, it has awarded $200,000 to 76 young cancer survivors.”

The winner will also personally meet Ferrell at a charity banquet in Southern California on September 28th, 2007 to be honored as the auction winner. Then in October, you’ll hang with Will once more on the set and appear in a scene with him. Sounds like a great opportunity to donate to an excellent cause and get your time in the spotlight — or get your kid an early Christmas present? “It is the surefire way to win the parent of the year award,” Ferrell said. “Support this amazing cause, by buying them me.”

The current bid is at $20,000 dollars. Hit the eBay listing to take look. The auction ends September 24th.
