Tom Hanks's Plug-In Prius Being Auctioned-Off to Support Veterans

Tom Hanks has donated his 2004 Toyota Prius for a charity auction, with proceeds going to help veterans and military families. The Prius, which has been modified so that it can be recharged by plugging it in, will be auctioned off on ClubCharity.com, with bidding ongoing and ending on July 19th at 8 p.m. EST.

Funds raised will go to the Welcome Back Veterans (WBV) initiative, created by Major League Baseball to help veterans and their families struggling with mental health issues related to their time in combat.

“Welcome Back Veterans is offering crucial support services to America’s military men and women and their families,” said Hanks. “When it comes to supporting our veterans and their families, I am proud to do whatever I can.”

The Prius has also been signed by Hanks, right on the glovebox. To place your bid, go to ClubCharity.com now
