Christina, Justin Tix Being Auctioned To Aid Iraqi Orphan
05.08.2003

Tickets from Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera's upcoming tour will be auctioned off to raise money to bring a burned Iraqi orphan to America for medical treatment.

The Global Medical Relief Fund is organizing the effort to save Ali Ismail Abbas, a 12-year-old boy who was severely injured in an Operation Iraqi Freedom missile strike that killed his family.

The Black Eyed Peas, who are opening on the Justified and Stripped Tour, donated the tickets, and Arnold Schwarzenegger has donated an autographed T-shirt for the child, according to Cheryl Shuman, a spokesperson for the organization. Timberlake and Aguilera are not directly involved.

Abbas, who has become a symbol of Iraqi civilian suffering in the press, is undergoing medical care in Kuwait for burns on 60 percent of his body. Both of his arms were partially amputated in Baghdad in April.

The Global Medical Relief Fund is a nonprofit organization that helps children who have lost limbs from war, national disaster or illness.

In related news, Aguilera is auctioning off Justified and Stripped Tour tickets and backstage passes on the Web site www.stubhub.com. Proceeds will go to the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh.

Fans have another way to get backstage on the tour. Aguilera is organizing what she's calling the Xposed Velvet Rope Xperience, a package that includes a guaranteed seat in the first 10 rows, a pre-show backstage tour and an after party. The deal is available to members of her official fan club, Xposed.
