August 2005: Britney Foundation Now Working With Kids With Cancer

I have enjoyed being a part of the Britney Spears camp for the performing arts for the past five years. I am excited this camp was so successful and that it is now spinning off to become its own entity. The Britney Spears foundation is proud to found the newly formed summer stars camp for the Performing Arts. We are also thrilled to make new grants to city of hope and Gida's club Worldwide which represents the begining of our work on behalf of children battling cancer.

Britney Spears has put her clothes and other thingson auction to raise money for the Britney Spears Foundation, which funds a weeklong performance-arts camp for kids. At www.gottahaveit.com, Britney fans can acquire not just a selection of more than 50 of her video, film and stage costumes, but they can also bid on signed posters, photography and items from her childhood. "They’re kind of iconic or whatever, but it’s not like I’m going to be wearing them anytime soon. And although I’m kind of sad about some of the pieces going, I know that the money we raise will have a huge payback," the US pop princess was quoted as saying by MTV. By opting for the more premium packages, one can share "personal experiences" with Britney, which include meeting her on the set of a video shoot, attending the Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts, and getting tickets and backstage passes for her upcoming tour.
