Rock group Linkin Park (and their charitable organization, Music for Relief) have teamed up with the non-profit organization Unite The United, to launch a wildfire relief auction on Ebay.
The charity benefit features memorabilia from rock bands young and old. From Look to the Stars,
“Over 60 items, including signed instruments and concert tickets, are up for sale in the auction, which follows an earlier donation of $50,000 made by Linkin Park to wildfire victims. This was followed by a donation from classic rockers the Eagles, also of $50,000, made to the firefighters involved in stopping the fires, and $160,000 donated to the cause by Gwen Stefani.”
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the California Community Foundation’s Southern California Relief Fund and American Forests , an organization that will help with the reforestation of 800 square miles of greenery destroyed in the fires.
