Waggytail Dog Rescue Charity Auction - Chuck Donates Amazing Gift!
Update! Waggytail are now accepting online/pre-bids. People can email WaggytailAuction@gmail.com for more info on this. But basically, it breaks down like this: someone gives them their max bid, they confirm their information through a $5 donation on PayPal, and they'll then have people at the auction set up to bid for them. If they end up winning, they then PayPal Waggytail the money and the prizes will be mailed to them.
Waggytail Rescue is a New York based dog rescue non-profit organization that Chuck is a huge supporter of. On Friday, May 7 they are having a benefit auction (which is the day after Chuck's NYC reading for Tell-All) and Chuck has very generously donated a prize to be auctioned off which we think you're all going to flip for -- especially his New York fans who will actually have a chance to come bid on this amazing item!
The prize: an authentic, original wrap jacket from the set of the movie FIGHT CLUB!
This jacket was only given to a handful of people associated with the film including Brat Pitt, Edward Norton, Meat Loaf, and of course Chuck Palahniuk, as a wrap gift from the film's director David Fincher, at the film's completion in 1998. The "Rules of Fight Club" are sewn on the inside of the jacket.
Chuck has not only generously donated the jacket he received to be auctioned off to raise money to save New York's homeless dogs, but he has also donated a signed hardcover copy of FIGHT CLUB and a personalized letter of authenticity.
Waggytail Rescue (www.waggytailrescue.org), is an organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of New York City's homeless dogs. They are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Manhattan, and rely on annual fundraisers and donations by amazing contributors, like Chuck Palahniuk, to help save these little homeless animals.

That is pretty sweet.
start the bidding at 3000?
I would be willing to bid 5000 dollars for this jacket, if only I could get to NYC.
We are taking online/pre-bids! Email WaggytailAuction@gmail.com for more information!
You are not the jacket you wear.... oh who am I kidding? That's kick ass. It's probably going to sell for more than my car is worth.
I dont even know what i would do with the Jacket, considering it would also be worth more than my car i sure as shit wouldn't wear it. i would probably just stare at it and my life would turn into a strange Lord of The Rings spin off.
What size is that coat? I'm guessing Chuck's a Large Tall?
It's an XL
This is just awesome. I would wear the hell out of that jacket too, I wouldn't be able to help myself.
Are we going to get an update about what it auctions for?
You're an asshole, GilW!
Pretty cool. First thing I thought was "WOW! I would pay an exorbitant amount for that. at least 2 grand!"
and I'm already outbid by the first post.
I guess it's for the best. I don't have 2 thousand dollars and I don't like dogs. oh well, if I can't get it I hope it goes for 10 thousand for them.
