Ever dreamed of visiting the set of House of Cards? How about going as a VIP to a star-studded movie premiere and after-party with the cast? The ACLU of Southern California is making this possible on IfOnly, with more than 25 unique celebrity experiences that will be auctioned to benefit ACLU’s vital work.
The campaign starts with an Independence Day Shop launching today through Friday, July 21st to round out the celebration of our Independence and honor the importance of protecting civil liberties across America.
This is a critical year for our country, and the ACLU of Southern California has been focusing on raising funds for important issues to us all such as racial and religious discrimination; immigrant rights; law enforcement practices and, of course, free speech. The ACLU SoCal has been in the courts, airports and detention centers. The lofty fundraising goal of $500,000 is the largest yet for the ACLU’s annual auction.
Fans are invited to bid-on and buy one-of-a-kind experiences starting at $150 per person. Auctions on IfOnly will be live at www.IfOnly.com/ACLUSOCAL through July 21st.
“ACLU’s work to promote civil rights and civil liberties is more important now than ever,” said Sheryl Crow. “I’m proud to be part of this campaign – a great way to marry my work with one of today’s most important organizations.”
“The services of the ACLU are more in demand than ever in its nearly 100-year history,” said Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU SoCal. “Luminaries from the worlds of film, television, music, theater and other arts have been astonishingly generous in offering so many great items, services and experiences to put up for bid. We are always grateful for donations from the public. Through this auction, we can offer them something profound, entertaining or just plain fun in return.”
“I’m thrilled to offer this experience to benefit the important work that the ACLU of Southern California is doing to protect civil rights for all,” said Robin Wright.
