Ellen DeGeneres donated her signed shoes for artwork created by Denver artist, Gina Klawitter, and to be auctioned at Soup for the Soul benefit event.

Ellen wore the shoes while dancing with Kanye West, and interviewing Randy Jackson. They still have LA beach sand on them! A trip to see Ellen's TV show (also donated by Ellen) will be up for bid as well. Soup for the Soul, a popular culinary and art auction event (featuring soups and appetizers from Denver's finest restaurants), benefits Porter Hospice and Hospice of Peace.

It happens March 8, 2007, at the Adams Mark Hotel, Denver. Seating is limited. Please call 303/715-7615 for tickets ($85/person). To see painting visit aliveoncanvas.com.
