Chevy Chase is to host the 11th annual Collaborating for the Cure dinner and auction in New York on November 20.

The event will benefit the Institute Without Walls cancer research programs supported by the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation, and attracts over 1200 people every year.

This year’s musical entertainment will be Steely Dan, and an auction will give attendees the chance to bid on private yacht cruises, wine and dine with celebrities, and stay in some of the world’s most exclusive hotels and lodges. These will be listed on CharityBuzz.com nearer to the big night.

The countdown to Christmas has begun, and celebrities are doing their best to make holiday shopping easy this year. Several charity auctions have already kicked off to raise money for good causes, including one that may be eBay’s largest sale of celebrity items… ever!

The BID 2 BEAT AIDS online auction will open on December 1, World AIDS Day, and will feature over 1000 specially signed items, ranging from posters to iPods. The annual auction will raise money for LIFEbeat, the music industry’s AIDS fundraising and service charity, and in the past has raised up to $175,000.

The array of memorabilia up for sale this year is simply colossal, with perhaps the most interesting items being a series of “Lend a Hand to LIFEbeat” cards that feature the handprints of over 100 celebrities. Stars such as Britney Spears, Jack Black, and Kathy Griffin traced around the outlines of their hands and decorated their artworks for the auction, and the finished products will make a unique addition to any Christmas stocking.
