The John Entwistle Foundation and Overstock Auctions are joining forces on a major fundraising auction to help support music education for underprivileged children. The auction is ending today at 8 pm. The John Entwistle Foundation has provided more than 50 rare, "collectible" pieces of memorabilia signed by the world famous former bass virtuoso of The Who. Entertainment memorabilia include autographed guitars, boxing gloves, movie posters, and more.
The John Entwistle Foundation was created as a 501c3 non -profit organization to carry on the philanthropic legacy of John Entwistle after his untimely death on June 27, 2002, on the eve of a world tour by The Who. The mission of the Foundation is to continue Entwistle's philanthropic legacy through the support of music education initiatives for underprivileged children.
"During John's life he used his immense celebrity to help raise millions of dollars to help others less fortunate," said Steve Luongo, Executive Director of the Entwistle Foundation. Steve was a longtime friend of the famous rock legend. "His charitable works with The Who, his solo band and as an individual were shining examples of someone who recognized their own good fortune and felt it was important to share it with others."
The auction will be managed by Naples, Florida based StarMarks Charity Fundraising.
