Charity dating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charity dating is a process of raising money for charity by being taken on a date by someone who will donate money to charity for the privilege.[1] It is common for celebrities to help charitable causes by auctioning off a paid date with themselves to a loyal audience, which sees a great value in such a date.
With the rise of celebrity culture many people are willing to pay large sums to meet their favorite celebrity. For example, Scarlett Johansson auctioned a pair of tickets to attend the premiere of her 2009 movie He's Just Not That Into You, raising $40,100 for Oxfam.[2]
