Yesterday, LookToTheStars.org brought you news about British stars who have created doodles for charity. We can also reveal that the US will also host a National Doodle Day in May.

Doodle Day USA will benefit Neurofibromatosis, Inc., and gives fans the opportunity to bid on doodles created by some of their favorite stars. Some of the famous names to put pen to paper for the initiative include Tim Allen, Jason Alexander, Phyllis Diller, Seth Green, Tony Hawk, Eric Roberts and many more. Special collector opportunities include original artwork created by SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg and late comedian Dom DeLuise.

The doodles will go under the hammer starting May 13. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that affects one in every 2,500 births. NF is more common than Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy and Huntington’s Disease combined. Funds raised from the Doodle Day auction will go to support education, advocacy, coalitions, and research for treatments and a cure.
