Jessica Biel did a good deed by offering to go on a date with the highest bidder at a charity event. The date was purchased at auction for $30,000 with the proceeds going to help a teenager who lost her leg in a prom night limousine accident. The event raised more than $44,000 to assist the family of Molly Bloom, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Fox News reported that the accident took place on May 13^th when Molly lost part of her pelvis and she is undergoing rehabilitation at a Denver hospital. Fox also contradicted the AP report stating that the event raised only $38,000 total.

The organizers called the event “Mollypalooza”, and most agree the winner got one heck of a bargain. He wanted to remain anonymous and is only known as John. He was a young man wearing a dark, striped suit, with close-cropped hair with a white tie.

John out-bid another young man who bid $23,500, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Beil’s father told KMGH-TV that his daughter “has this opportunity to create a buzz that would provide some support and she's more than happy to do that." When John came up to the stage he told the audience “I'm a senior vice president for an oil and gas company in Denver."

Biel was in Italy filming a movie so she was not at the event. She is a Boulder Colorado native and will be in town on August 18^th to receive a humanitarian award. In a tape recording she said “I promise, I'm a cheap date."
