If youve ever dreamed of having coffee with Hillary Clinton, recording a song with Sting, or attending an acting class from Sir Patrick Stewart, now you canvirtuallyand for a good cause.
Sothebys and Google have teamed up to offer unique virtual experiences with leading figures from all walks of life to raise money for the International Rescue Committees (IRC) Covid-19 relief efforts.
These experiences will be auctioned online only, and without reserve, at Sothebys from May 1-8.
The winning bidders will have the option to share their experience via Google Meet video calls with frontline workers and others who have been directly impacted by Covid-19, Sothebys said.
The list of virtual experiences continues to grow. They include a coffee withClinton to discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic will change the world; a chance to record a song with Sting, the 17-time Grammy Award-winning musician; and an acting lesson by Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his roles as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor X in the blockbuster X-Men film franchise.
Other experiences include a conversation with actor/comedian Sacha Baron Cohen about anything from writing comedy to regulating the internet; a virtual artwork creation with British contemporary visual artist Marc Quinn; a virtual visit to Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey was filmed; and a personal coaching session with Tim Ferriss, anAmerican entrepreneur, author, and podcaster.
With those most vulnerable in need of all the help that we can give, we would like to thank Sothebys, Google, and all the luminaries who have agreed to participate and donate their time for this auction, David Miliband, a former British foreign secretary and now IRCs president and CEO, said in a statement Monday.
The New York-based humanitarian organization,(snip) is currently working in about 40 countries to support refugees and other vulnerable populations.

Too fat to cross her legs.
Will the coffee be with hillary or with her body double that was trotted out on 9/11/16?
Is Hillary’s cut 95% ?
Too pickled, too!
I knew Sting was derp, but, Stewart, too?
Charity? Oh more money for the Clinton foundation like in Haiti.
I thought Sting was Dead
Whatever pittance this raises will be a pit in the ocean compared to the TRILLIONS of largesse sprinkled across America by Congress.
Not surprised that Hillary wouldn’t pitch in for an Anmerican-focused charity.

U.S.A recent survey revealed that a majority of Americans are ready to get back to work. Even when asked if they realize that getting everybody back to work right now could increase deaths from COVID-19, most responded that they were willing to die if that’s what it took to end the nightly parade of self-important late show hosts scolding them all for needing money from the comfort of their fancy homes getting paid millions to shame-Skype America.
“It’s like when you accidentally FaceTime someone you really did not want to talk to. That’s what TV is like now,” said one participant in the survey who then begged for the COVID-19 virus to release him from another webcam Trevor Noah monologue.
Late show hosts are pushing for a longer quarantine period citing their preference to talk down to America on a laptop camera while wearing pajamas, not having to be around all the gross people who show up in live audiences and receiving the same sweet paycheck every week.
Like my longtime tagline says..........
As long as they dont have to spend their own money.
I was going to say something sarcastic but then I realized my absolute idol Sting is in the group! I always wait patiently for his orders on how to live my life and don’t know what I’d do with his words of wisdom.
Lol. He’s pretty much vanished, since his looks went away. What an insufferable peacock he was.
TheY protect and help (fake?) refugees
Why not a charity that helps poorer us citizens
“If youve ever dreamed of having coffee with Hillary Clinton,...”
Dream or nightmare? A food tester provided?
America remember these douche bags that pal around with the enemy
I’d rather hang with the real Enterprise captain, Kirk.
I can’t afford Shatner-lessons... :-( ...as awesome as they would be! :-D
