I tip my hat to James Gandolfini

And it's not just because he's a fellow Rutgers alumnus.
Tony Soprano is shedding his wardrobe for charity. James Gandolfini, who starred on the hit HBO series, is selling off 24 outfits, including the button-down blue shirt he wore in the opening credits and the bathrobe he donned to fetch the morning newspaper.
Proceeds from the June 25 pop culture auction at Christie's will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit group that assists severely wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Estimates for the costumes start at $500.
Gandolfini's wardrobe, which includes many outfits with the original production tags attached, is expected to bring up to $36,500.
The article doesn't reference anything about it, but I do recall he's done some charity work in the past for the Wounded Warrior Project.
It's refreshing to see someone in show business do something for those that have taken one for the team, so to speak. Celebretards usually raise money for AIDS or something absurd like the Transgendered Undocumented Worker Legal Defense Fund.
