Housing Works: Housing Prevents AIDS. Housing Improves Health.

In an effort to raise money to rebuild three clinics in Haiti, Housing Works President and CEO Charles King will auction off his trademark ponytail at a charity auction event called Shear Madness. Who’s =the current highest bidder? None other than evangelical megachurch leader Rev. Rick Warren, of Saddleback Church.

“For Charles to part with his personal signature is a serious sacrifice by a serious man for a serious cause,” Warren said. “When I heard he planned to do this I immediately kicked off the bidding at $1,000. The cause is worth a hundred times more than that. I pray that I’ll lose this bid by a wide margin, because Kay [Warren] and I will send our $1,000 of support regardless,” Warren said, adding, “What will you do?”
