Fall Out Boy Auctioning Rare Items For Charity

[Rohan Kohli]

Fall Out Boy (http://www.falloutboyrock.com) is auctioning off several items to benefit the African Children's Educational Trust (http://www.a-cet.org); check Pete's journal entry below for more details:
so i was sitting around this christmas. just kinda getting bummed out looking at the lights outside of shiny houses in my neighborhood and decided that it was time fall out boy gave somethng back. we decided to pick a cause that we feel is often overlooked- education of poor people in africa (specifically ethiopia). we feel like education is one of the most important building blocks in change- so after doing some research we found and organization that we felt really was doing it right: www.a-cet.org (http://www.a-cet.org) - this isn't some glossy amazing press piece it is doing something quietly to make a change- and we loved that. so we decided to put a couple of old and rare FOB and clandestine items up on ebay. here's the deal- if you dont see the link off of a fall out boy site than don't trust that it is us doing it- part two- keep bidding the more we can help the better. and three we will keep adding more items up here for a bit so keep checking back. they are all legitimate and endorsed by FOB and all items will come signed. happy bidding:

That's nice of Peter.

[I am all talk]

trading cards would have been tight

[fedhed7]

thats pretty cool of them.... i can't believe they're already giving to charity. a year ago, they would never be able to do this.

too bad those shirts are ugly. that pez dispencer and the FOB trading cards are pretty funny.

[irthesteve]

they had take this to your grave trading cards?? since when haha

[smallbutfeisty]

i sent in this news to a few people, but it looks like rohan beat me to it :p

i think what they're doing is pretty awesome.

[Flags of Dawn]

the trading cards are part of the vinyl, except way bigger and im guessing less rare.

*I am not going to actually sell this but people on the board can't take a joke so I thought I would add this

Contributing to charity is really great, and so is what these guys are doing. but theyre not really contributing anything out of their own pockets, just telling their fans to contribute. The things they are auctioning off are of no real value to anyone but their fans so its not like this is setting fob back too much

but would their fans have heard of it otherwise? probably not.

how do you know they're not making personal contributions as well? even if they're not, it's cool that they're donating funds earned from auctioning rare items & informing people about a lesser-known charitable organization. think about all the money donated to pcrf, through various projects started by andrew mcmahon fans, & also project flip-flop, that probably wouldn't have been donated if andrew never got sick. these endeavours mean little to people who aren't fans, but they still made a difference.

.......that's pete's name.

?

[JohnnyG]

That breakdance hearts shirt is pretty rad

[AsianMan696]

fall out boy is the shit.

[tsunami_bomber]

i can't afford any of this. i think i'll donate some money directly to the organization though - it's a good cause.

[X__inhope]

very awesome of them

[starcrossdlovex]

Those bids are gonna get soo high.
I wish I had that kind of money.

[BrokenParachute]

I got a Pete Wentz trading card with my take this to your grave. And I got it signed at their MEST tour. Wonder if that's worth anything. Haha

[aloneatlastnj]

i find it awesome that 1) they decided to cash in on their success and give something back to charity and 2) they're sticking it to MTV by selling off the moonman pez dispensers.
