New Tapping auction commences

Amanda Tapping is lending her name in a charity auction to raise funds for North Star Montessori Elementary School in Vancouver, BC.

The actress and producer, best known among sci-fi fans as Colonel Samantha Carter in SG-1 and Dr. Helen Magnus in the hit SCI FI Channel series Sanctuary, is currently offering one-of-a-kind auctions on eBay.

“Amanda has always been a champion of charitable and good causes,” the organizers told GateWorld. “She has a particular interest in lesser-known causes which ordinarily have no access to mainstream fundraising. This is a small local school that could really use the support.”

Items being auctioned include a 20-minute Skype chat with Amanda (link), an autographed arm sling worn by Tapping in SG-1 (link), and a guided behind the scenes set visit and lunch with Tapping during the filming of Sanctuary in Vancouver (link).

“This auction will serve as a template for a larger fundraising initiative that Amanda plans to launch later this year, which will support children’s charities and not-for-profit organizations,” they said.

All three auctions end February 16.
