SAG Awards Auctions Red Carpet Seats to Benefit Its Foundation
The SAG Awards is auctioning off seats on the red carpet to benefit the SAG Foundation Nov. 18 - 28. The first eBay auction in this year’s series features 70 seats from which fans can see their favorite stars walk the red carpet, take pictures and request autographs. New to this year’s auction is the combination of bleacher seat sets with hotel stays, dinners, makeovers, backstage tours and more.
Proceeds from the Screen Actors Guild Awards Auctions will benefit the SAG Foundation to help sustain its award-winning children's literacy programs: BookPALS, which provides reading to more than 600,000 children monthly in classrooms and hospitals nationwide, and Storyline Online, reaching an average of 2 million views globally each month. The auction also supports the Foundation's Catastrophic Health Fund and emergency services, the Actors Center, and the video preservation of the creative legacy of professional actors.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
