NBC Auction on eBay Benefits Colorectal Cancer Research


NBC hosted an All Star Charity Auction with sales benefiting the National Colorectal Research Alliance, co-founded by the Today Show's Katie Couric.

The auction featured signed props or items from NBC Entertainment, Sports and News programs. Items ranged from a walk-on role on Frasier to a set chair from Will & Grace signed by the entire cast. The items were all sold online through eBay.

The items getting the highest bids included a walk-on role for two people on Friends, an autographed West Wing script, an autographed pilot script for ER, Today Show behind-the-scenes passes for two, and a Days of Our Lives behind-the-scenes package.

The NCCRA is dedicated to eradicating colon cancer by harnessing the power of celebrities to promote education, fundraising and research to fight the disease.
