Office set visit auction for a cause!

The Office

Kent Zbornak, co-executive producer of The Office, is auctioning off a set visit to The Office!

All proceeds go to the Office Fans Christmas Fund, benefiting The Office staff members that were laid off after the WGA strike began.

Details of the set visit from Kent:

As part of the Office Fans Christmas Fund, we would like to donate a guest tour of our production. The winner of this auction item and three guests will be given a V.I.P. tour of our shooting facility in Los Angeles and join the cast and crew for lunch. In addition, the winner will get to watch scenes being filmed for an actual episode.

I contacted Kent personally about this auction, and he assures me that it is legitimate.

Tallyheads, please let me know if you bid and win! I would love to feature your report and photos here at OT.

The auction ends December 14th.
