The foundation supports the artistic achievements of female actors, writers and directors through a series of scholarships and grants. Reflecting Adrienne’s spirit, generosity, courage and whimsy, its goal is to recognize the tremendous passion and commitment of women artists in creating their own work, and provide them with support and guidance particularly during periods of transition and struggle.

Also up for grabs in the auction are walk-on roles in Kevin Smith’s new movie, A Couple Of Dicks, starring Bruce Willis, and a walk-on part in Drew Barrymore’s new movie, Going The Distance. There is also a signed print from Meg Ryan, tickets to Rachael Ray, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, as well as Fox Television’s Bones DVD sets signed by the entire cast, Jimmy Buffett VIP tickets & backstage passes, and much more.

The auction runs until April 16 and can be accessed here.

Lunchbox Auction Will Help Feed Hungry Children

Forget what they say about good things coming in small boxes, better things come in lunch-boxes created by artists, actors, chefs, musicians, photographer, politicians, and fashion designers to shed light on the plight of hungry children in New York City and South Africa. These original artistic efforts are for the Lunchbox Auction.

The artistry is often unique and often indicative of the personality behind the work. World renown chef Bobby Flay’s 2005 lunchbox was decorated with spices. Bono’s lunchbox was simply red signifying his (RED) campaign. The bidding for lunchbox items will commence online on December 6, 2007

Among the other contributors of lunch-boxes for the first online auction included Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, David Bowie and Iman among other famous people. The proceeds help the Food Bank For New York City provide food to more than 1,000 emergency and community food programs throughout the five boroughs.

One in five children in NYC rely on emergency food. Thousands of miles away in South Africa, children face similar hunger oriented plights. Fledgling school programs do not subsidize pre- and high schools, so for many of these children the Lunch box fund feed them their only meal of the day. Moreover, many of the children are AIDS orphans running child-headed households.

To see the full list of lunch-boxes, visit the Charity Folks Website.

The Forecast Shows RAINN On The Web

With Tori Amos on the advisory board, Rachel Bilson & Kevin Smith lending their support, being named one of “America’s 100 Best
Charities” by Worth Magazine, and having just honored the first one million callers who have received help from the National Sexual Assault
Hotline, I’d say RAINN is definitely on the radar!

Now the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) is proud to launch
the pilot phase of their National Sexual Assault Online Hotline. This is an essential lifeline for sexual assault survivors who may not be ready or have restrictions making a connection via a telephone line.

After months of collaboration with leading security software designers, RAINN developed a privacy-protected instant messaging format for online communication. Survivors can communicate in real-time with trained crisis support volunteers with the confidence of knowing that no trace or transcripts are stored. Furthermore, a tutorial is given on clearing private data from their personal computer after an online visit.

During its pilot phase the online hotline hours are Monday through Friday, from 4pm to 6pm ET, eventually becoming a 24/7 sanctuary. For
more information regarding their online counseling, how you can volunteer and other ways RAINN offers support, visit their website at
