How Much Does Vince Neil's Foundation Raise?


Charity auction items from celebrities are nothing new. Everyday we see some charity offering something to be auctioned on eBay to raise money. Well, back in 1995, Vine's daughter Skylar died of cancer and so he set up a foundation to raise money for cancer research. That is great and fantastic and I hope that they have raised a lot of money in previous years, because the takings are going to be really low this year.

Up for auction until Friday is a signed piece of the felt from his poker table. In addition to his own signature, Vince also included the signature of three porn stars, a set of guitar picks and a pack of playing cards. Seriously. The way I read this, is that someone probably came to Vince while he was playing strip poker with porn stars and said today was the last day to donate items to the auction and what were they going to donate. Vince then ripped off some felt from the table, wiped the ashes off it and had everyone sign. Found an old deck of cards and some guitar picks and congratulated himself for his goodwill.

I wouldn't pay more than $1, so it really is no surprise that the top bid so far is $255. Yep, and oh, that is not the minimum reserve bid. How much do they think it is worth? I appreciate that he is raising money for cancer research and every little bit helps, but maybe next time just write a check.
