MICHAEL DONATES SCULPTURE TO HAITI RELIEF ART AUCTION
Michael is one of over 200 artists who have created Marcel Duchamp-inspired "ready-made" works of art for New York City's landmark Tools For Thought: Rebuild Haiti Art Auction. The event, which kicks off with an online auction tomorrow, is slated to raise money for Partners in Health, an organization which has been doing ground-level relief work in Haiti for over twenty years.

As part of a larger article about a new book on photgraphing rock stars in the Saturday 20th Feb edition. Scroll down about halfway for the REM section. Some nice comments there:
I am a school guidance counselor from Athens, GA. A member of the R.E.M. staff and I grew up together. I work at a school with a 99% poverty rate. As we were brainstorming how to raise funds to get arts/music programs in our school, we landed on the idea of "raffling" off a guitar.
A local band, Thieves Market purchased a guitar and donated it to the cause. Then Mike Mills, Michael Stipe and Peter Buck were gracious enough to autograph it while in the studio back in November.
Please take a moment and check out our fundraiser! Thank you for your support and thank you to the guys for making this happen!
