Taylor Hicks Lends His Hand to Bids-2-Beat Charity Auction

For the second year in a row, Taylor shows his heart and 'hand' for the benefit of honoring World AIDS Day on December 1, 2008. He is one of the many celebrities who donated to the one-of-a-kind celebrity autographed "Lend-A-Hand to LIFEbeat" card series for the Bids-2-Beat Charity Auction. Back where I come from, you call people like Taylor a mensch (a Yiddish word for "a person of integrity and honor") - a person who unselfishly donates his time and spirit to those less fortunate, year after year.

According to the press release, "...The centerpiece of the auction is a one-of-a-kind celebrity autographed "Lend-A-Hand to LIFEbeat" card series. Stars traced their hands on special paper, adding an artistic touch and signature. Cynthia Nixon, Gina Gershon, James Earl Jones, Natalie Cole, Bob Saget, Jack Klugman, Drew Lachey, Sean Hayes, Taylor Hicks, David Hyde-Pierce, Loretta Swit, Jamie Farr, Deborah Gibson, Jerry Mathers, George Wendt, Pete Best, Paige Davis, Faith Evans, Frankie Valli, John Lithgow, Maroon 5, John O'Hurley, Alan Cumming, Robin Thicke, Nathan Lane, John Lequizamo and over 100 others have participated in this unique project..."
