A range of Canadian celebrities are parting with some prized accessories, including designer handbags, for a charity auction. All money raised by the Celebrity Baggage drive will benefit the Mood Disorder Association of Ontario (MDAO).
MDAO is a non-profit organization which helps to raise awareness of mood disorders and support sufferers through a range of programs and initiatives.
Amongst the items available are a Boston Bruins hockey bag from Canadian Hall of Famer Paul Coffey, a Baggallini Hampton bag from Radio One host Shelagh Rogers and a striped canvas tote from singer Anne Murray. All accessories are autographed by the original celebrity owners.
“We’re thrilled with the generosity of the celebrities who see the value in the work that MDAO does,” says Karen Liberman, Executive Director of MDAO. “This initiative is a great way to raise funds for MDAO while reminding Canadians of how common mood disorders are and the profound impact they have on the lives of so many individuals and their loved ones.“
The auction starts on February 7. A full list of items up for grabs and instructions for bidding is available on the Celebrity Baggage website.
