Announced at the California Browncoats site: Adam Baldwin will be auctioning off the original Jayne hat to benefit the Marine Corps – Law Enforcement Foundation.
Fans of Firefly will recognize this hat as the one Jayne Cobb received from his Ma in the episode “The Message.”
The auction for THE Jayne Hat will start on September 24, 2008 and will run until October 4. Keep an eye out for the auction through the CABC eBay page.
The MCLEF uses donated funds to provide assistance “to children of Marines or Federal law enforcement personnel who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country at home or abroad. These funds enable us to provide these children with scholarships for their higher education.”
I imagine the auction for Tracey’s body wouldn’t fetch as much…
Thank you. I have 5 children and/or their spouses all involved in the Military or Law enforcement. Foundations such as this are very near and dear to our hearts in this time of need. Thank you very much for your caring donation.
I regularly enjoy my Firefly dvds and as an avid knitter I love Jayne’s hat. You can bet I’ll be bidding.
