| | |  JKR Donates Signed Item to Fundraiser
J.K. Rowling has donated a personally handwritten, signed item to Book Aid International for their fundraising auction. Proceeds support increasing literacy in poor countries around the world.
The auction will take place on February 21st at Bloomsbury Auctions of Mayfair, London. Tickets cost £75, and are limited to 250 places. A champagne reception will take place at 6:30pm, followed by the auction at 7:30pm.
Ms. Rowling has donated to Book Aid International before, helping to raise $24,000 for the charity in 2002 with an auction of a 93-word card containing clues about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was at that time not yet released. Other authors making donations include: Dr. Maya Angelou, Sir Tim Rice, Alexaner McCall Smith, Eoin Colfer, Ian Rankin, Sebastian Barry, Joanna Lumley, and Susanna Clarke.
More information on the auction will be forthcoming.
Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for the info.! | |

ROCK ON JO! She is the ultimate role model for kidsand everyone else, not just because of her creativity, humour success but also because she is just is just soo soo nice. She realises she can make a difference and does so. Being a fan of JK's work is something to be very proud of considering how we're backing her on her work.
If only JKRowling could perform an imperius curse on the leaders of the world....
