Actor Morgan Freeman is helping to organise an online auction in order to raise money for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund in an effort to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Held on the Charity Folks website, the fund-raiser will open on Friday and run until September 16, with items including a resort getaway, film memorabilia packages and a chance to see Freeman's new movie An Unfinished Life.
myTELUS.com quotes him as saying: "It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help.
"Now, charity begins at home, so we call on anybody who has even the thought (of giving) to get beyond the thought and help these people."
