Christina Aguilera raises $50,000 for Charity
Christina Aguilera put her John Hancock on a 2010 Chrysler 300 Eco Style Edition car for charity — and raised $50,000!
The “Beautiful” songstress personalized the car, which was auctioned off by Stars for a Cause to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme, which is aiding relief efforts in Haiti.
Today, Stars For A Cause co-founders George and Laura Braunstein were able to present $50,000 to Kevin Sturtevant, Vice President for Development, Friends of the World Food Program, the U.S. Branch of the United Nations World Food Programme, for 100 percent of the proceeds from the SFAC charity auction of the Christina Aguilera-autographed Chrysler 300 Eco Style.
Aguilera was selected to personalize this one-of-a-kind, vanilla exterior and cactus interior luxury car. The eco-style edition uses recycled materials, such as recycled rubber for the floor mats, bamboo wood interior, 100 percent recycled metals, and includes a fuel efficiency system that reduces the eight-cylinder engine to four cylinders when necessary.
Launched in 2006, Stars For A Cause is a unique charity fundraiser that has helped raise money for various charities through the help of celebrities and the Hollywood community.

WFP’s new Ambassador Against Hunger Christina Aguilera visited two schools in quake-stricken Haiti on Tuesday to meet the children receiving food aid through WFP school meals programmes. Donate and add your voice to hers!
The world-famous singer helped serve meals of rice and beans to children at the Ecole Lysee Fritz Pierre Louis in Port-au-Prince and at the Ecole Saint Terese de Darbonne, in Leogane, a badly damaged town south of the capital.
Aguilera met with WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran while in Haiti to discuss the hunger response after the earthquake. WFP’s operation in the Caribbean nation is shifting away from emergency relief to programmes such as school meals, nutrition schemes and food-for-work projects to help the national recovery effort.

During her time with children of Leogane, Aguilera also sang ‘Happy Birthday Haiti’ to highlight how reconstruction efforts in the country are giving this long-suffering nation the chance of a new start.
The singer’s appointment as a WFP Ambassador Against Hunger was announced last week during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
“A child dies every six seconds of hunger which is a huge statistic for me,” Aguilera told Oprah Winfrey. “After having my own child I just had to be a part of it and do something about it and help change that situation.”
