*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

New York, NY - Aug. 20, 2009 - The stars are coming out to help the Jorge Posada Foundation. The Foundation and charitybuzz, the online auction experts, have gathered some of the hottest names in entertainment and sports to create a celeb-studded auction in conjunction with the Foundation's 8th Annual Heroes for Hope gala that will take place in Manhattan on Thursday, Sept. 10. The auction takes place online at www.charitybuzz.com now through Sept. 17, 2009.

Aspiring actors will want to bid on a walk-on role in an upcoming Spike Lee film. Those looking for over-the-top Las Vegas entertainment can bid on the chance to meet Cher backstage after her show, a complete travel package courtesy of Ray Romano that includes tickets to his stand up show, a backstage hello, airfare and hotel for two, and two tickets to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Premiere Party in February. Billy Crystal has donated two tickets and a backstage meet and greet to his Tony Award-winning one man show, 700 Sundays, in the winner's choice of cities, and actress Rosario Dawson has donated VIP tickets to the premier of her newest film, "Zookeeper." For those interested in sports news and politics, bidders have their choice of meeting news commentator Bill O'Reilly at the Fox News' studios, lunch with former New York mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, or a set visit and meet and greet with Joe Buck at his HBO show. For sports memorabilia fans, Jorge Posada has donated several items of game-used gear. A one-of-a-kind catcher's glove signed by some of the greatest Yankee catchers, including Yogi Berra, Jorge Posada and Joe Girardi, will be included in the live auction. Golfers won't want to miss the chance to play golf with comedian/actor George Lopez at his private club in the Los Angeles area, a round of golf at Due Process Golf Club, complete with helicopter arrival and departure, or a foursome at Trump National donated by Donald Trump. Other notable items include VIP access to the New York Food and Wine Festival complete with a Rachael Ray meet and greet, airfare and hotel accommodation, a custom-made Yankees-themed chopper from motorcycle guru, Johnny Pag, and luxury travel to Puerto Rico. More items are added daily, so we encourage bidders to check back daily.

Charitybuzz Founder and CEO, Coppy Holzman, is enthusiastic about this year's auction. "This is our second year with the Jorge and Laura. We're delighted that they have given us another opportunity to help raise money for their Foundation. We considered last year's auction a huge success, but support for this year's auction has been overwhelming," Holzman said.
