Carter Center Fundraiser Auctions Tom Hanks' Typewriter

The Carter Center

A human rights organization founded by former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, is taking its annual fundraising event online. 

The Carter Center in Atlanta will host a virtual, four-day auction starting Wednesday that will feature an original oil painting by the former president, a vintage Remington typewriter from Tom Hanks’ typewriter collection and a photo of Carter with former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The photo is signed by all three of them. The Carter Center said the bidding runs through Saturday. The event will culminate in a live show that will include Willie Nelson and Jon Stewart.
