Signed by dozens of celebs like Charlize Theron, Joe Jonas, Kerry Washington and Taylor Swift, the priceless shirt is up for auction via a Prizeo sweepstakes. All raised funds are going to benefit the Ronald McDonald House New York. The children´s charity provides temporary housing and support for pediatric cancer patients and their families and has already received a lot of support from the Scottish actor.
“James has been a strong supporter for several years through our relationship with MDC Productions and we are so appreciative of his generosity of time that he has given to the families of Ronald McDonald House New York who have a child fighting pediatric cancer,” Ruth Browne, the CEO & president of Ronald McDonald House New York said in a statement, adding that he had gone “above and beyond” to make the initiative come to life.
Fans interested in winning the shirt covered with celebrity autographs only have to donate US$10 to Ronald McDonald House New York at prizeo.com/JamesMcAvoy. The campaign will run until May 16. (sop/kes)
