#GiveBackToStana



On Monday February 16, Stana Katic announced her auction to benefit Alternative Travel Project while on Jimmy Kimmel live.



Jimmy Kimmel: ”What are you auctioning off? What are you selling, your car?”



Stana Katic: “Close. There was a, I’ve told this story before actually, I think on your show, there was a shirt that I wore for our test, for the Pilot of Castle. It was a tunic top, and I didn’t have time to get the right size shirt, I thought I could tuck it in, I thought it’d be ok, and it wasn’t. So I grabbed some scissors and I went out to the lobby to look for somebody to help me with this shirt, and Nathan (Fillion) my costar was there getting a coffee. And he helped me cut it…”



JK: “And you said, will you mind cutting my dress off,”



SK: “He did it, and the producers saw it and I joked that’s how I got the job.”

Which brings us to this fundraiser and our desire to raise enough funds to buy the shirt, then give it back to Stana Katic because we believe that’s something she should have. ATP means so much to Stana that she's willing to part ways with this for the sake of raising funds. So we'd like to take one of the things that we feel is important to her and give it back to her. This is the item that possibly changed her professional life forever, and as fans, we would rather her keep it as a memory of all she has accomplished and how grateful we are to her. The items in Stana's ATP auction are selling for far more than a lot of us have money for. This is a way for fans to share what they can and make it a collective effort to buy one item and still show their appreciation of Stana and support of ATP.



Now if you’re a fan of Castle, Stana Katic or anyone associated with the show we ask that you please donate. If you're unable to help financially, then please spread the word #GiveBackToStana. We're Castle fans, so we know we can do this and raise the money needed.



Current bid on the shirt is $4,351. We have raised more than this amount, but that does not mean we can get comfortable. The auction ends on February 26th, 4:20pm, so we are keeping donations open until then. Nothing is ever certain with these kinds of auctions, so we're keeping the goal high enough to ensure we can make the highest bid possible. If we win the shirt and have money left over, all remaining money will be donated to ATP. If we're not able to win the shirt in the end and are outbid, ALL money raised will still be donated directly to Alternative Travel Project, on behalf of Stana Katic, via their donation page on their official website. Either outcome, all money goes to ATP. The purpose of this campaign is not just about winning the shirt back, it's about showing our love and support of Stana in a cause that she truly believes in.
