Usually it’s the female celebs donating their clothes to charity, like Kim Kardashian, who even has her own page on eBay for her sartorial donation.  But in an interesting twist, a number of high-profile men in Hollywood are giving the ties from around their necks to help other guys win jobs.

Zac Efron, along with James Gandolfini, Christopher Meloni, John Krasinski, Rainn Willson, Steve Carell, Jimmy Kimmel and Tom Colicchio, are donating neckties to Career Gear, acharity that assists men who need a little help finding jobs.  Their ties will go on auction on June 7 and be available for bidding through June 17 at www.careergear.org.  This is Career Gear’s second annual “Celebrity Tie Auction.”

The tie is an appropriate symbol of the work Career Gear is doing – part of the non-profit’s work involves outfitting unemployed men who are are eager to work again with work clothes they’ll need for job interviews.

“The funds raised from the auction will go directly towards giving men a second chance to start their lives,” said Career Gear founder Gary Field.
