Eddie Van Halen has donated two items for a live auction this Saturday, October 26th, for non-profit organization Last Chance for Animals.
The Van Halen News Desk reports Eddie donated a signed EVH Stripes Series guitar (Ed signed the head stock and the body) and a personalized hockey jersey that he owned.
Rumors are that Eddie might attend the auction Saturday, which will see the organization honor the efforts of celebrity photographer and animal activist Christopher Ameruoso and “Vegan Of The Year” Phil Collen of Def Leppard. The event will also feature an intimate solo performance by Jose Feliciano.
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation, and media attention. The organization believes that animals are highly sentient creatures who exist for their own reasons independent of their service to humans; they should not be made to suffer for the latter. LCA therefore opposes the use of animals in food and clothing production, scientific experimentation, and entertainment. Instead, it promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle and the ascription of rights to non-human beings.
