For any readers out there who happen to have an extra 10 grand and a yearning to meet the Boss, you’re in luck! Mr. Springsteen is working together with Homestead’s Rainbow Kitchen to raise funds for the organization’s mission of providing anti-hunger programming and other assistance to impoverished residents of the steel valley.

Through www.rainbowkitchen.org, fans can bid to win a private meeting with the man himself. According to the announcement:

“Bruce Springsteen has been a friend and supporter of Rainbow Kitchen Community Services for many years, and he encourages his fans to contribute to Rainbow Kitchen as well. Bruce made this fantastic offer to Rainbow Kitchen to help us raise as much money as possible through the auction, and we look forward to telling him that his Pittsburgh fans have once again made this effort a huge success.”

Bidding starts at $10,000, and the winner’s bid will be matched by Springsteen up to $50,000. So put off that Memorial Day trip to St. Trope you’ve been planning and join Bruce in lending a hand to your neighbors across town.
