Charlize Theron helped the charity ONEXONE big time last week!  She appeared at the group’s gala event and live auction at Bimbo’s in San Francisco and raised bucks - and temperatures.

The actress initially put a trip to South Africa (complete with 2010 World Cup tickets, a meeting with Nelson Mandela, and a safari) on the auction block.  Unsatisifed with the bids, which stalled at $37,000, Charlize threw in a kiss.   That did the trick:  a female attendee bid $140,000 - outbidding a male attendee by $5,000 - for the right to smooch Charlize.

Way to go!  ONEXONE works to improve the overall health and living conditions of children in living in poor countries.  They’ve got lots of celebrity support, including that of Ben Affleck.

Check out a picture of the kiss here!
