Ozzy Osbourne Raises Nearly $1 Million for Cancer Research

Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne raised nearly $1 million for The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program over a two-day period after cleaning out his garage and allowing fans and collectors to bid on some memorable merchandise.

 

The auction, held on Friday and Saturday, featured several items that were featured on the hit reality show “The Osbournes” which chronicled the daily life of the singer along with his wife, Sharon, and their two children.

 

Among the items that fetched big dollars in the auction: a pool table went for $11,250, a painting from Edourad Drouot sold for $10,500, a pair of Osbourne’s round glasses brought in $5,250, and a dog bed given to Sharon by Elton John raised $2,375.

 

All proceeds of the sale, which totaled $800,000, went to the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
