Irvine, Ca—November 30, 2007 The American Kids Cancer Fund and Burrud Productions, Inc. are pleased to announce the auctioning of a TV appearance to the highest donor-bidder! The winner need not be an actor and no experience is necessary! Their appearance in a Burrud television special is guaranteed!

Each year, thousands of actors and actresses spend countless hours and funds attending casting calls and auditioning for a television role. However, with this incredible charity auction, the winning donor will not have to compete against scores of actors and actresses for this amazing opportunity to appear in a “World Premiere” TV special. To win, all they need to do is be the highest donor-bidder! And best of all, since the American Kids Cancer Fund is a recognized 501(c)(3) charity, their donation-bid is eligible to be considered tax deductible!

Here’s how it works. Burrud Productions is currently filming several television specials slated for initial broadcast on the WE (Women’s Entertainment) Network during 2008. The highest donor-bidder during our eBay auction will be cast to appear in one of these “World Premiere” specials. The part will be filmed during January or February 2008 on location in Southern California. All they need to do is be there and they’ll be on television! Imagine, having the opportunity to be on a national TV special and support a wonderful non-profit charity at the same time! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

How to bid: This auction will be conducted on eBay and will start on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 with all proceeds benefitting the American Kids Cancer Fund.
