Jim Cramer's Top Charity Auction Items

Wear Tony Soprano’s robe, sail around Manhattan with David Hyde Pierce, get fed by a Top Chef, and get back stage passes to the Victoria Secret (LTD) fashion show… 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. He gives you the 411 on the goods so you can get in on the bidding action at silent and live (also known as “outloud”) charity auctions. Oftentimes, these phone and email bids may be placed in advance of the event. As a frequent amateur auctioneer, Cramer welcomes these kinds of bids and eagerly pursues them as a way to use the power of the internet to raise more money for charity.

Make your next big ticket purchase a donation for charity. Be sure to check back on MainStreet often to see more hot items up for bid.

If your charity is having an auction please contact us and we will be happy to list your items.

Charity begins on MainStreet.
