They say an elephant never forgets… and this new celebrity charity auction will give you something to remember forever.
A host of celebrities have put their time and effort into the latest Elephant Project celebrity charity auction by donating special packages to go under the hammer. Each package consists of an 8×10 photo of a celebrity posing with the elephant, a signed Elephant Project card by that celebrity, and a special elephant beanie baby!
Celebrities taking part include the Jonas Brothers, Tina Fey, Corbin Bleu, Jane Krakowski, Dakota Fanning, Rob Thomas, Nick Cannon, Hill Harper, David Arquette, Christopher Meloni and many more.
Created in 2006 by 18-year old David Niederhoffer after his grandfather passed away from Alzheimer’s disease, the Elephant Project aims to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer's Association, and to get teenagers more active in community service.
“There is a phrase that says ‘Elephants never forget’,” said Niederhoffer. “Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia… As I live relatively close to New York City, I wait outside of Broadway theaters and other events to meet each celebrity. After explaining to them what I am doing, I ask each celebrity to sign a business card that was custom made for this project. I also ask the celebrities to pose with either Trumpet the Elephant beanie baby or Peanut the Elephant beanie baby. All the pictures are printed out and auctioned off with the signed card. After I obtain a significant amount of signed cards/pictures, they are auctioned off on eBay. Each auction package also comes with an elephant beanie baby!”
