Bruno Mars auctioning items for tornado victims

Bruno Mars is auctioning off several items of concert memorabilia to raise funds for the victims of last month's (Apr11) tornadoes.

Storms swept across six southern states, claiming the lives of almost 300 people and causing millions of dollars of destruction.

Bruno Mars has been moved by the images of devastation and he's aiming to generate as much cash as possible for the American Red Cross to help those affected by the disaster.

A post on his Facebook.com page reads, "Bruno is auctioning off some signed & rare items to benefit the victims of the massive tornadoes in Alabama. ALL proceeds of this auction will go to the Alabama Tornado Disaster Relief Fund via The American Red Cross. Anything you can do to help would be most appreciated!"

Items in the lot include a framed show poster, a limited edition Doo-Wops and Hooligans box set and lifetime membership to the Bruno Mars fan club.
