A lunch date with George Clooney and
Neil Patrick Harris memorabilia are among the prizes in an auction to
benefit the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
GLSEN
works to create a safe space in schools for children who are or may
be perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
The group's eighth annual Respect
Awards will take place on Friday, October 5 at the Beverly Hills
Hotel in California.
An online auction associated with the
event includes a lunch for two at the Soho House in West Hollywood,
California with Hollywood star Clooney and Dave Karger, senior writer
at Entertainment Weekly. The package is estimated to be worth
$20,000.
Also being auctioned off is a Paul
Smith suit worn by Neil Patrick Harris on the CBS sitcom How I Met
Your Mother. The suit, estimated to be worth $1,000, is signed
by Harris.
Other
prizes include a walk-on role on HBO's supernatural drama True
Blood and a visit to the set of the ABC comedy Modern Family.
