Lymphoma Association's eBay charity auction includes Dubai pro am spot with Sergio Garcia

In a perfect world, prizes in a golf charity auction should not be the reason you donate. Ditto for the menu, although a fine filet mignon and a crisply glazed crème brule certainly has a knack for getting the party started.

So let’s face it: the better the goodies, the greater the goodwill. And the folks at the Lymphoma Association have a roster of items that appear guaranteed to open some pocketbooks for helping anyone affected by lymphatic cancer.

Several holiday auctions are being held from through Dec. 12. It’s on eBay, so there’s no excuse not to “attend” and bid on these and other prizes. (You can click on this link for more auction info.)

Up for auction:

* A spot playing alongside Sergio Garcia in the Dubai Desert Classic Pro Am. (It’s only one of the world’s top pro-am tournaments. Sergio’s not bad either.)

* One-to-one tuition with Adam Scott.

* Afternoon tea with Manolo Blahnik. (If you don’t know Manolo, ask the next woman you see).

* A Lanvin dress from the Paris catwalk.

* A TOUS necklace designed by Kylie Minogue for her ‘Life is Music’ collection. (If the jewelry is as hot as the Aussie singer, it should fetch a pretty penny).

It all sounds like fun, and it’s for a great cause.
