Over 450 items are up for auction from Blacksparrow Auctions in a timed auction until September 3rd 2016, with all net proceeds going to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer. The auction features over 450 rare and signed items from 45 TV shows and 15 films, and has something for everyone.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand raises awareness of childhood cancer causes, funds cutting-edge research projects and creates travel programs to support families of children receiving treatment. Cancer Gets LOST is a non-profit charitable endeavor co-founded by Executive Director Jo Garfein and Jared Wong to raise money for various cancer support charities through auctions and fundraisers featuring rare and autographed pop culture memorabilia. This auction is dedicated to the memory of dear friend Bonnie Craft, who was a huge CGL supporter and quite possibly the world’s best LOST fan.

Lot 180 gives bidders a chance at a fantastic display piece. Up for grabs is a LOST “Final Season” one sheet poster signed by 10 cast members. This measures 27 inches by 40 inches, and is in find condition donated to the auction by Bad Robot.
