Flower15 organizes charity auction with Jimmy Eat World, Ted Leo, Smoking Popes, Fugazi

In anticipation of the upcoming Flower15 festival organized by the long-running booking agency, Flowerbooking, the organizers have set up a charity auction. The auction and the six day festival are aiming to raise $50,000 or more for P.L.A.Y. (Possibilities in Life: Art for Youth) a youth charity that aims to provide a constructive and creative outlet for young victims of abuse.

Among the prizes are a Private Bowling Party with Jimmy Eat World, a chance to record with Ted Leo, a Rickenbacker used by Q and not U, the entire 20 CD Fugazi live series, a private acoustic performance from Josh Caterer of Smoking Popes and catalogs from Jade Tree, Lookout! and Hydrahead.

The auctions are all underway now, and will conclude in about ten days. You can click Read More for the list of auctioned goods or visit the eBay page for the charity.
