Never one to shy away from fashion – she released a clothing line at Walmart last year and the star is known for her controversial stage outfits – Miley Cyrus is now turning to her own closet for a charity internet auction on eBay for Get Ur Good On.
“For me I get this amazing blessing and opportunity to [connect with people] every day and get up on stage and hopefully inspire people with my music,” Cyrus said. “And that’s something that’s really important to me, but so is getting involved in charities.”
Get Ur Good On, the offspring of non-profit organization Youth Service America, is a virtual social network where youth are connected to volunteer opportunities in their communities. Get Ur Good On, with Miley Cyrus as its earliest celebrity spokesmodel, embraces all kinds of causes and gives grants for young people to take action and get involved in any way that they prefer.
“There are amazing charities right here in America. You don’t have to travel 30 hours…you don’t have to give a billion dollars. It’s not about how much or how far; it’s about looking at your neighbors and seeing how you can help, " Cyrus said. “This isn’t just stuff that’s all over the world, it’s right here, it’s right next to you. It’s important to get involved.”
The auction will fully hit off late August on eBay.
