Bill Cosby is selling off his famous sweaters for charity. The comedian has teamed up with auction management agency Auction Cause to offer his legendary winter wear to fans via an upcoming eBay.com online auction.
Cosby wore the multi-colored sweaters on episodes of The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 to 1992. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation charity.
The Cosby sweaters will be sold at eBay Giving Works, eBay's dedicated program for charity listings, from June 2-12.
The Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation is a non-profit educational organization established by the Cosby family in 1997 following the murder of Ennis Cosby, Bill's son.
The funnyman's daughter, Evin, inspired her parents to auction off the famous TV sweaters after coming across them in a closet.
She says, "My mother and father were going through a storage closet, and I happened to be there and pounced on these sweaters. I told them that the price of what some of these sweaters might sell for could make a big difference in the lives of thousands of children."
