Eliza Dushku Cleaned Out her Closet for Charity
On March 22nd, Eliza auctioned out some of her clothes to the charity, Camp Hale. Just thought you guys should see this video, because Eliza is so cute in it. Unfortunatly the acution itself is over, but you really should view this adorable video of Miss Dushku.
Eliza Auctions Off 10-Minute Interview With Her
Hoping to raise funds to benefit her favorite charity Camp Hale, Eliza Dushku offers fans a chance to interview her for 10 minutes by winning the auction on website eBay.
Actress Eliza Dushku is offering fans a chance to win a 10-minute video chat with her to raise money for charity. The "Bring It On" star has already raised $20,000 by selling screen costumes and designer outfits on auction website eBay and is capping off the sale by offering up a conversation via internet conferencing service Skype.
The highest bidder will have 10 minutes to grill the star on her career and personal life, with proceeds going to help underprivileged children attend a Massachusetts-based summer camp. She says, "One of the benefits of being an actress is all of the fancy clothes that you get sent."
The actress continues, "But everybody has to clean out their closet now and again so I'm taking this chance to let my fans go shopping in my closet while benefiting my favorite charity at the same time. Camp Hale is a summer camp in Boston that fosters individual development through outdoor programs and education. My family at Camp Hale thank you!"
Make A Difference Day
How do you bring together, for the first time, four of TV's hottest new stars? Give them a chance to talk about this week's hottest topic: volunteering.
Starting Monday, four major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox -- will slip messages about service into more than 60 of your favorite shows: dramas, comedies and reality alike. It's the centerpiece of I Participate, a multiyear effort to encourage Americans to volunteer led by the Entertainment Industry Foundation -- Hollywood's leading charity.
Millions will turn this TV inspiration into real-life action next Saturday on Make A Difference Day. For nearly two decades, on the fourth Saturday of October, USA WEEKEND's Make A Difference Day has inspired millions worldwide to feed, clothe, house, teach and soothe their neighbors.
"There's strength in numbers," says actress Eliza Dushku, star of Fox's Dollhouse. "People can band together on Make A Difference Day and say 'together we can.' " She's one of four stars who gathered in Los Angeles to represent their shows, their networks and their own commitment to helping others. Joining her: Nathan Fillion of ABC's "Castle," Hayden Panettiere of NBC's "Heroes" and Hill Harper of "CSI: NY" on CBS.Dushku, 28, is just back from Uganda, where she met with the founder of THARCE-Gulu, a trauma healing and reflection center for former child soldiers. She used Twitter to spread the word about what she was doing there, hoping to get others to help, too.
That embodies the simple, powerful idea behind I Participate and Make A Difference Day: Studies show that nearly half of all people who volunteer started because they were asked to by someone they know.
