Foo Fighters

So do Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes, and countless others

Foo Fighters, The Killers, Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes are among the numerous artists donating memorabilia to the Chicago-based charity Rock for Kids.

Beginning tomorrow (November 30), the charity will hold its 19th annual auction with proceeds going toward its mission of providing free music lessons for underprivileged children.

Also up for auction are autographed posters, albums and outfits from the likes of Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Bruce Springsteen, James Brown, Sonic Youth, Deborah Harry, Arctic Monkeys, Bjork, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Pogues, The Police, Wilco and Ryan Adams, among others.

The auction is set to take place at Chicago's West Park, but bids will also be taken via the charity's website.
