Signed swag from past FASHION cover girls Katy Perry, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift will help to build water wells in South Sudan. It’s all a part of Vancouver-based fashion brand Obakki’s Rainmaker auction on eBay to benefit their Obakki Foundation. The bidding war began at the beginning of the month and will run until Nov. 14. Along with Perry’s and Knowles’ glossy pics and a Swift acoustic Epiphone, the auction block also includes a guitar and collector’s Ouija board from the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, natch; a used glove from the swinging hand of Tiger Woods; and a tour book from Charlie Sheen—all autographed. Currently, 100 items from celebrity musicians, athletes, and artists are up for grabs with new ones added daily with an aim to raise $200,000 for 200 more clean wells in South Sudan this December.
