How to Get Your Paws on Hanksy’s Poop Portrait of Trump and Help the Lower Eastside Girls Club at the Same Time
For the past six years, the Orchard Street Runners club has organized a silent auction to benefit the Lower Eastside Girls Club. And this year is no different. The fundraiser goes down tonight at Ludlow Studios on Ludlow Street, and the highest bidder will walk away with Hanksy’s poop portrait of Fuhrer Trump (feces collected outside his 5th Avenue palace). The public is encouraged to attend.
Other items on the block tonight include, among others, gift certificates to By Robert James, Nom Wah Tea Parlor, Pintail Coffee, Cafe Katja, and Forgtmenot.
Past silent auctions from the Orchard Street Runners were quite successful, generating close to $50,000 in funds for the Lower Eastside Girls Club, an organization offering educational programming to local middle and high school girls. The money apparently helped send 50 girls to summer camp upstate.
