Jonas Bros raising money for kids' charity

NEW YORK, July 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. pop group the Jonas Brothers has agreed to auction off exclusive backstage passes and premium concert tickets to benefit its children's charity.

The proceeds from the online auctions are to benefit the Change for Children Foundation, which the band said it started to "support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and a will to succeed."

Charityfolks.com is exclusively auctioning off the packages, which include four seats and a backstage "meet and greet" for concerts in more than a dozen U.S. cities in August and September.

The band's Disney movie "Camp Rock" was watched by 8.9 million viewers and helped establish their single "Burnin' Up" as a hit. The band is to release its new album "A Little Bit Longer" Aug. 12.
