The Wire invites you to join us on Saturday, March 25th, for "A Night at The Wire Charity and Celebrity Auction" to benefit The Ella Thompson Fund.

You will meet the actors and crew who make the magic happen, and get a rare behind-the-scenes look at The Wire soundstage, usually closed to the public. At this one of a kind cocktail party, you will tour the sets, walk the same hallways as your favorite characters and enter the rooms where you've watched the drama unfold on the show. Enjoy fabulous food and drinks as you bid on our silent and live auctions all while benefiting Baltimore's at-risk youth.

We will be auctioning film and television memorabilia along with great packages and items from local businesses. You can even bid for a part on The Wire!

For more information about The Ella Thompson Fund and ticket information please visit www.ellafund.org or call 410-448-5663 ext. 136.

"A Night at The Wire Charity and Celebrity Auction" benefits The Ella Thompson Fund of the Parks & People Foundation which supports recreation and after-school programs in West Baltimore, the same area where much of The Wire has been filmed. Ella Thompson, portrayed in the HBO miniseries The Corner, suffered a great tragedy when her 12-year-old daughter was murdered near her West Baltimore home. Despite her personal loss and heartbreak, Ella continued to volunteer at an under-funded recreation center in her neighborhood. In the years that followed, she became a cornerstone in her community, committing herself to the idea that with just a little more support, faith, and opportunity for the children of West Baltimore, a neighborhood and, ultimately, a city could turn itself around. After being named "Baltimorean of the Year" by Baltimore Magazine in 1998, Ella tragically suffered a fatal heart attack, at just 47, while driving a car full of donated computer equipment to a city recreation center.

The Wire hopes you will join us at this exciting event to support Ella Thompson's legacy and the children of Baltimore.
