GLAAD and eBay Launch Celebrity Auction for Pride Month, Up for Bid Through June 26

Exclusive experiences with Shakira, Orville Peck, Andy Cohen, Dylan Efron, and More 

GLAAD and eBay have joined forces to launch a high-profile charity auction in celebration of Pride Month, featuring exclusive experiences and memorabilia donated by celebrities including Shakira, Andy Cohen, Doechii, Margaret Cho, Orville Peck, and Kesha.

The eBay for Charity auction went live globally on Sunday, June 16, and will run through June 26 at www.eBay.com/glaad. All proceeds from the auction will benefit GLAAD and support its mission to promote acceptance and equality for the LGBTQ community.

Participants will have the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind experiences and items, with all starting bids set at just $0.99. Notable offerings include:

  • Aly & AJ: A VIP concert experience on the duo’s upcoming Silver Deliverer Tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Into the Rush.
  • Andy Cohen: Two tickets to a live taping of Watch What Happens Live, including a photo opportunity with Cohen.
  • Boy George: A signed statement hat from the iconic Culture Club frontman.
  • Chani Nicholas: A rare, personalized astrology reading with the renowned astrologer.
  • Chris Appleton: A private styling session with the celebrity hairstylist behind red carpet looks for Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Ariana Grande.
  • Melissa Etheridge: Two tickets to her show at the Greek Theatre and a signed guitar.
  • Orville Peck: Premium tickets and a meet-and-greet at Cabaret on Broadway, where he currently stars.
  • Shakira: Two VIP tickets to her June 28 show on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour, including a meet-and-greet and “Camina con la Loba” package.
  • Tom Daley: A private knitting lesson in Los Angeles with the Olympic gold medalist and Made with Love founder, open to three guests.

Additional contributors include Margaret Cho, Sandra Bernhard, Dylan Efron, David Archuleta, Doechii, and the Scissor Sisters—many of whom are offering concert tickets, meet-and-greets, or signed memorabilia.

GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis praised the initiative, calling it “a joyful celebration of creativity, community, and support,” and noting that funds raised will directly aid GLAAD’s work in media advocacy, education, and civil rights initiatives.

The campaign is hosted through eBay for Charity, which allows buyers to support nonprofit organizations through direct purchases and auctions.
