Created by Deborah “Debbie” Gibson, as a play on her 1987 hit single “Only In My Dreams,” the online auction runs until midnight Pacific on June 1 with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Gibson Girl Foundation.
“I personally hand collected all of these authentically autographed jeans and cannot believe how many amazing celebs came to the table all to support kids in need furthering their arts education,” exclaimed Gibson. “We hope to give talented and devoted young performers the summer of their lives by providing them with scholarships to camps around the world.”

In addition, the entire cast of Glee and Desperate Housewives autographed jeans. Plus, there is an autographed sneaker from Shaq.
Founded by Deborah “Debbie” Gibson, Gibson Girl Foundation awards scholarships to qualifying youth who desire to attend an entertainment camp, but are unable to afford camp tuition. Gibson Girl Foundation scholarships may be used at any entertainment camp selected by the recipient. Since 2008, Gibson Girl Foundation has provided more than $150,000 in scholarships to kids in need.
