OCALA, Fla., March 19 (UPI) -- John Travolta's hog is on the block, auction block that is, to help in a theater renovation project in Ocala, Fla., near where the actor lives.

The Marion Theater isn't the only beneficiary of the auction of memorabilia from Travolta's current film, "Wild Hogs," the (Ocala, Fla.) Star-Banner said Monday. Money also will be awarded to the Ocala Film Commission.

Travolta signed the customized version of the Harley-Davidson cycle he rode in the film. Other "Wild Hog" items to be auctioned include a signed leather jacket and a signed motorcycle helmet.

This isn't the first time the star of "Grease" and "Pulp Fiction" has aided the community. He donated $15,000 for victims of tornadoes that ripped through central Florida in February.
