The inaugural Kentucky Bourbon Country Auction & Celebration (KBCA) is rolling into town February 13-15, 2026, and it's not just another whiskey weekend. This is a three-day celebration of America's native spirit timed perfectly with the nation's 250th anniversary, and every dollar raised goes to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families through the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Translation? You can bid on rare bottles, sip once-in-a-lifetime pours, and help fund mental health care, housing assistance, and employment services for the people who've served our country.

During an interview with the French content creator Antton Racca, Niney was asked about the story of American actress Scarlett Johansson putting her used tissue up for sale and getting $5 300 (4,471) in 2008. On camera, Niney then blows his nose into a tissue - assuring viewers that he is in "very, very good health", drops it into a plastic bag and announces that he is putting it up for sale - with any proceeds going to "a really good charity".

The portrait of Jesus had been painted onstage by artist Vanessa Horabuena who, the president said, was one of the greatest artists anywhere in the world. To me, she's one of the greatest. In fact, she did something last night that was incredible. She can paint, slowly, a beautiful portrait for the White House, or she can paint the most incredible painting in literally 10 minutes, he added on video of the event broadcast on conservative channel Newsmax.

Sir Bobby Robson's son had a precious piece of hand luggage he needed to get back in one piece - a Ballon d'Or world coach of the year award. The gong was donated by Jose Mourinho for a charity auction in the name of his late mentor in 2011. It went on to help raise 26,000 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which aims to find more effective ways to detect and treat cancer.

Sex Education's Asa Butterfield, who grew up in Hackney, is helping raise money for Hackney Foodbank by leading a charity auction at the Mildmay Club this October. Prizes up for grabs include limited edition artwork by Sam Winston, Eva Rothschild and Heretic Studios; dinners at Papi, Behind and Brat; cushions from House of Hackney; Eurostar tickets; gig tickets for EartH and Rough Trade; and a hotel stay at One Hundred Shoreditch.

Then at 11:30 a.m., Scott Wiener of Scott's Pizza Tours will host a live auction of the artwork, with all proceeds supporting Slice Out Hunger's nationwide initiatives. While bidding, guests can grab a slice from Brooklyn DOP, and parents can even upload their child's artwork to Pixyit to print it on a tote bag, hat or other keepsake. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and preregistration is required for the workshop.
