March 21 will see The Lunchbox Fund hold its annual Book Fair and auction – hosted by Salman Rushdie and Michael Stipe – at the Piedmonte Room, Del Posto.
As well as the chance to enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and the most beautiful gathering of books to behold, the event will give you the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind handmade books created in collaboration with Ruth Lingen by Salman, Stipe, Sting, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mario Batali, Ben Kingsley, Yoko Ono, Tony Bennett, Shepard Fairey, Deepak Chopra and many more.
An online auction will also take place, which starts on March 20 and can be accessed here.
All proceeds from the auction will benefit The Lunchbox Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a daily meal for extremely poor and at-risk school children.

This is always a lovely event for a wonderful cause. The same people show up every year, however. Given the book auction at this year's event, I wiss the organizers had reached out to a wide circle of New York writers. Salman is wonderful, but perhaps in the future, the event planners can reach out to younger writers, male and female. There are so MANY writers who could have participated in this.
