Gwen Stefani to Use Concerts to Help Kids

Gwen Stefani is using her upcoming concert tour as an opportunity to raise funds to benefit children's charities.

The singer will be auctioning off an exclusive VIP Experience package on ebay for each stop on her "The Sweet Escape Tour". Each package includes:

- 4 front row tickets
- A meeting for 4 backstage with Gwen Stefani prior to her performance
- 4 autographed The Sweet Escape CDs
- 4 premium concert tour t-shirts

All proceeds will benefit Orangewood Children's Foundation & Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).

Gwen says: "I have contributed to both Orangewood and CHOC over the years. They are both Orange County based charities that give children hope, love and support when they need it most. Their work inspires me and I'm excited to help raise money and awareness for their cause on my upcoming tour."
