4-15 Charity Picks

Lunch with Ted Turner, vacations in Italy, Aruba and Austria, a personal chef for a day... Going once, going twice, sold—for a worthy cause. Jim Cramer, from TheStreet.com and Mad Money, wants you to raise your paddle (or click your mouse) to raise extra money for charity.

Each week, Jim Cramer handpicks the hottest high-profile items on the charity auction block and lists them here on Cramer's Charity Picks. Access to A-list celebrities, unique vacation packages, and exclusive experiences–his list has it all. He gives you the 411 on the goods so you can get in on the bidding action, in some cases providing a way for you to make a bid even if you can't attend the event.
Make your next big ticket purchase a donation for charity. Contact these organizations now to get more information. Be sure to check back on MainStreet often to see more hot items up for bid.

Charity begins on MainStreet.
