Actor Isaiah Washington Auctions Off Personal Collection to ‘Reach One Million’
(HOLLYWOOD, CA) – A rare framed autographed photo of the ABC hit series original “Grey’s Anatomy” cast is among the items going up for auction beginning today on eBay to support children in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The auction, sponsored by the Gondobay Manga Foundation’s ‘Reach One Million Campaign,’ will raise funds to support the organization in its efforts to help improve the lives of one million children in Sierra Leone—one village, one region, at a time.
The auction will run today through August 23 on eBay.

“This auction is a wonderful chance for people not only to bid on once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, but to also help save a child’s life in Sierra Leone,” said Isaiah Washington.
Launched on his 45th birthday, the ‘Reach One Million’ campaign will engage and educate everyday Americans on the plight of the children of Sierra Leone, where 47% of the country’s children under the age of 5 are afflicted with malaria and 28% percent of the population are unable to meet basic food requirements.
The campaign calls for Americans to help ‘reach one million’ children in Sierra Leone by making a donation in the amount of $5 to $5000, to aid in providing food, education, protection from malaria, and clean drinking water.
Later this year, Washington will travel back to Sierra Leone where he will receive dual citizenship from the Sierra Leonean government.
