Jessica Simpson isn't the only celebrity kicking up her heels to raise awareness for National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Christina Applegate is teaming up with fellow celebs and athletes to put the spotlight on finding a cure through her foundation's t-shirt auction.

Applegate has recruited celebs Fergie, Apl.de.ap & Taboo of The Black Eyed Peas along with the cast of ABC's Desperate Housewives, Ashley Tisdale, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. Other celebs include Jennifer Morrison, Carrie Ann Inaba, Gabrielle Union, Fran Drescher, Tiffani Thiessen, Tim Daly, and Melissa Gilbert. 

The tees, autographed and designed by the slew of celebs, will be one-of-a-kind "I Love..." t-shirts and will benefit Applegate's foundation Right Action for Women, in support of Lee National Denim Day on October 2, one of the largest single day fundraisers for breast cancer nationwide.

The tees will be auctioned off on charityfolks.com. Bidding begins today and will end on October 2. Proceeds will benefit Right Action for Women. Bidding for the shirts began last week and will last through this Friday.

"I'm overwhelmed by so many familiar faces who have designed a t-shirt to help Right Action for Women which is all about getting high-risk women screened appropriately for breast cancer," said Applegate. "I've been honored to be this year's Lee National Denim Day ambassador and this t-shirt embodies the spirit and power of the campaign."

Applegate, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 has become an advocate for fellow and future survivors. To read more about Applegate's before and after double mastectomy thoughts, click here.
