Back in September, a set visit auction for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 brought in a whopping $60,100 for Stand Up 2 Cancer, and now a second auction - this time, including a meet and greet with Robert Pattinson - has been completed, bringing in $80,000 for the GO Campaign (which "improves the lives of orphans and vulnerable children throughout the world by partnering with local grassroots organizations that provide the care and services the children require to survive and thrive")!
According to Entertainment Tonight, this is the highest bid the organization has yet gotten (though a few, like a back-stage meeting with The Beatles' Paul McCartney, are going to close higher once completed).
The details of the auction, including the when's, where's, and who's, can be found here.
All together, then, that's $140,100 which has been raised for charity thanks to something so simple as a set visit to Breaking Dawn. Major props to those who won, giving up such substantial sums, and to those who organized and agreed to this effort. Charity drives like these are a bit part of what keeps good works in motion.
