Clothes Off Our Back Auctions to Benefit Children’s Charity In Malawi, Africa: HELP

The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation is a 501c3 organization that hosts charity auctions showcasing today’s hottest celebrity attire. Items are put up for bid to the public with proceeds going to benefit children’s charities. Clothes Off Our Back was founded by actors and philanthropists Jane Kaczmarek (“Malcolm In The Middle,” “Raising the Bar”) and Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing,” “Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip”) whose efforts, along with their celebrity and designer friends have helped improve the lives of children across the globe.

Proceeds from auctions held between June 2008 and May 2009 will benefit Feeding America (formerly named America’s Second Harvest – the nation’s largest charitable hunger-relief organization), The Art of Elysium (which enriches the lives of artist and critically ill children), HELP Malawi (spreading hope, education, love and protection to the children in Malawi) and Hope North (displaced children in Uganda find a new home: education, recreation, vocational training and communal living).

Over 500 celebrities and 200 designers have participated in Clothes Off Our Back auctions since its inception in 2002, helping raise nearly $3 million for various children’s charities.
