NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
How would you like to be present on the set of hit TV show "Lost"? Or take a limo ride with Morgan Freeman? I know many of you, given the opportunity, would dine with Halle Berry.
Here's your chance.
Frum Tha Ground Up, a charity founded in 2003 by young Floridian DJ Walton, uses celebrity mentors and role models to inspire success in America's youth. The organization is holding an auction on the Charity Folks Web site.
One of the prizes is a meal with the erstwhile Catwoman. But don't expect a sumptuous repast with the movie star to come cheap. The pre-auction estimate was $20,000, and the bid had already climbed to $2,000 by 9 A.M. June 23.
The charity he started really took off, "When we reached out to celebrities and athletes," says Walton, who is the road manager for singer Alicia Keys. "When Alicia came on board, things started to move forward."
Many stars have contributed items to the auction. In addition to the items featured in our gallery the auction includes such items as boxing gloves signed by Muhammad Ali, Shaq's floor seats to a Miami Heat game, a makeover from Keys' "Glam Squad," and a tennis racket signed by Anna Kournikova.
Walton hopes to raise as much as $250,000 from the sale of a total of 54 lots. The auction began June 21 and will run through June 30.
