The 26th annual Hungerthon online auction to fight worldwide hunger is on through the November, with items donated by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry, Cyndi Lauper and Alice Cooper.

Co-founded in 1976 by the late musician Harry Chapin, the WhyHungercharity says it has raised about $30 million to help hungry people around the world get food.

This year’s auction went live on Nov. 9 and continues through Nov. 30, on the CharityBuzz.com website, with some 50 donated items connected to famous folk.

You can bid for four tickets to an Alice Cooper show on Dec. 14 in Orlando (current bid $550), or a white Fender Stratocaster guitar signed by Frankie Valli and Cyndi Lauper ($200); or a Katy Perry autographed pink satin tour jacket ($175), or a limited edition photo of Springsteen and the late Clarence Clemons in concert ($175).

The radiothon will be Nov. 19 and 22 on SiriusXM and New York-area CBS affiliates.
