About the Charities

Clothes Off Our Back® Beneficiaries
The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation is a 501c3 organization that hosts charity auctions showcasing today's hottest celebrity attire. Items are put up for bid to the public with proceeds going to benefit children's charities. Clothes Off Our Back was founded by actors and philanthropists Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm In The Middle") and Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing," "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip") whose efforts, along with their celebrity and designer friends have helped improve the lives of children across the globe.

Proceeds from auctions held between June 2007 and May 2008 will benefit America's Second Harvest (the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization), The Art of Elysium (which enriches the lives of artist and critically ill children), World Education (focusing on girls' scholarship programs in Africa) and autism research.

Over 500 celebrities have participated in Clothes Off Our Back auctions since its inception in 2002, helping raise over $2 million for various children's charities.
