Britney Spears raffles clothes for Louisiana flood victims

Pop star Britney Spears is giving the clothes off her back to raise money for the Red Cross to benefit victims of widespread flooding in her home state of Louisiana.

Spears, who’s from Kentwood, tweeted links on Tuesday to a fund-raising site that offers $10 (Dh36.72) raffle tickets to win an outfit from her upcoming performance on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards or a trip to New York to see her at the show in person.

More than 115,000 people across south Louisiana have signed up for federal disaster assistance after the catastrophic flooding that began on August 12. At least 13 deaths have been attributed to the flooding, and more than 60,000 homes were damaged by the storm.
