Celeb-designed lunchboxes to sell online to benefit hunger relief
3 hours ago

NEW YORK - Kids who want a unique lunchbox to carry to school are in luck, if their parents are feeling generous - and charitable.

More than 150 celebrities have decorated lunchboxes for charity to benefit two hunger relief organizations.

The lunchboxes, designed by luminaries in the entertainment, fashion, art, music, literary and culinary worlds - were to be sold in an online auction beginning at 12:01 a.m EST Friday and ending at midnight Dec. 21.

Elton John designed a white lunchbox covered in colourful images of trolls. Eva Mendes offered a psychedelic creation. Julia Stiles did one that shows a photo of the Brooklyn Bridge on one side and of trees on the other. Kevin Smith sketched Bullwinkle on his.

Other celebrities who contributed designs included Michael Stipe, Richie Rich, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Lisa Marie Presley and Beyonce.

The auction, which hopes to raise upward of $200,000, will benefit Food Bank for New York City, which feeds 1.3 million New Yorkers annually, and The Lunchbox Fund, which provides lunch to impoverished schoolchildren in South Africa.

The Lunchbox Fund says 25 cents fills one child's lunchbox.

Kicking off the event Thursday night was a star-studded live auction featuring several of the personalized boxes at the Saatchi & Saatchi advertising agency.

Can't wait to see what Lisa came up with. She has done this before ... I think the lunchbox she did last time was orange ... They sold on-line @ auction via e-bay. anyone still have a pic??

here's the older one... sorry i'm looking for a bigger photo of it, I know I have it somewhere, lol... so glad she's doing that again, and for a great cause!

i love it when celebs put their star status toward good causes to help the people.

those are the ones we should be backing, not the ones like Paris. (no offense to anyone who likes Paris. It is the only life she knows and it is not her fault)

Same here grumpy. I think it just goes to show that Lisa's heart is pure gold. I admire her so much for the causes she continues to do to help others. She's a class act all by herself!

Lisa has such an amazing heart! You gotta love her.
Beautiful thru and thru!
I can't wait to see what she designed this year, last years was kick arse!

i can't wait to see this year's lunch box either; last year's looks really cool! does anyone know what it sold for? great cause!

so glad to hear she's contributing to this again..
