That's a very constructive thing to do with your excess stuff. Better than merely throwing it away.

Good on him!

He stayed in my city a while back to recuperate from falling out of a coconut tree, in privately owned mansion that accommodates well-healed guests wanting privacy in an exclusive setting, just up the road from where I live. He painted while he was there, which was some weeks. Before leaving he signed the pictures, gave them to the owners, as a thank you and the rest for auction for good causes.

Keith Richards auction nets $100,000

Quote:
Three pieces of French artwork and a Persian carpet from Keith Richards’ apartment in the Upper East Side were the big sellers at an auction held in Hudson, N.Y, last weekend.

The sales will bring more than $100,000 to two Ridgefield nonprofits — SPHERE and The Prospector Theater — by the end of the summer.

“The Prospector Theater was built to answer the great demand for employment options for individuals with disabilities, including the one out of 68 children who have been identified with some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” said founder Valerie Jensen.
