A date with Jessica Biel raised $30,000 to help a teenager who lost her leg in a prom night limousine accident.
Denver media reported the winning bid Tuesday came from a man identified only as John. In all the event dubbed "Mollypalooza" raised $38,000 help Molly Bloom's family with medical expenses, organizers told the television stations and the Rocky Mountain News.
"Biel has this opportunity to create a buzz that would provide some support and she's more than happy to do that," Jonathan Biel, Biel's father said. He said it was his daughter's idea to hold the auction for a lunch date.
Bloom was run over and dragged about 38 feet by a Hummer stretch limousine, police said. Limousine driver Stanley D. Sample, 38, faces a misdemeanor charge of careless driving resulting in serious bodily injury.
