LOS ANGELES, July 4 (UPI) -- An eBay auction features donated celebrity items to benefit the California-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which operates free clinics worldwide.
Celebrities who attended the 2006 Black Entertainment Television Awards June 27 donated items from their goody bags -- expensive gifts given to VIPs at awards shows.
Donations were made by Harry Belafonte, Chaka Khan, actors Boris Kodjoe and Marlon Wayans, rapper/producer Lil John, rappers and Oscar-winners Three 6 Mafia, hip-hop artist Chamillionaire, will.i.am from the Black-Eyed Peas and actress Thandie Newton, among others.
The ongoing auction is set to end July 10,
Signed memorabilia, Chanel sunglasses, gold jewelry, watches and designer clothing are some of the items available for bid, the foundation said in a press release.
The single most expensive item -- a Rapstor watch valued at least $3,900 -- was donated by Chamillionaire.
The foundation operates free AIDS treatment clinics in the United States, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the largest free alternative HIV testing program in California.
The auction will benefit the foundation's prevention and testing programs, specifically HIV/AIDS education and outreach to women.
