Celebs like Paltrow, Hurley raise thousands of dollars for charity
November 17th, 2009 - 5:41 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Nov 17 (ANI): Celebrities have helped in raising thousands of dollars for charity by donating their designer cast-offs to a U.K. department store’s garage sale.
Stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Hurley and Dame Shirley Bassey cleared out their wardrobes for The Really Really Great Garage Sale at London’s Selfridges store on November 15 in aid of the Mothers4Children charity.
A pair of Bassey’s shoes sold for 100 pounds, while Paltrow and Hurley’s unwanted clothes also helped raise much needed cash.
Funnyman David Walliams, British singer Louise Redknapp and TV presenter Denise van Outen were among the stars manning stalls, each garnering more than 5,000 pounds in profit.
“It’s actually hard to part with things because as I was putting it in the bag, I thought, ‘I might wear that’,” the Daily Express quoted Redknapp as saying.
“And then something kicked in and I thought, ‘This is going to help a lot of children in difficult periods of their lives’, and that’s more important than me wearing it on a Saturday night out,” Redknapp added. (ANI)
