Leaving "No Doubt" that she's "Cool" and "Hela Good," Gwen Stefani announced this week the "VIP Experience Charity Online Auction to Benefit Children's Charities" as a part of her upcoming North American Tour.

In an effort to benefit children's charities, Stefani, a famous product of the 'burbs of Southern California's Orange County, is offering her fans the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit front row on her new concert tour - and even meet her before the show, according to a release from Interscope Records.

Beginning March 19, the exclusive "VIP Experience" packages will be auctioned on eBay for every stop on Gwen's upcoming "The Sweet Escape Tour." Each package for four includes front row tickets, autographed copies of "The Sweet Escape" CDs, premium concert t-shirts and a pre-show backstage meet-and-greet with Stefani

All proceeds will benefit Orangewood Children's Foundation & Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).

"I have contributed to both Orangewood and CHOC over the years," the Divine Ms. Gwen said.

"They are both Orange County-based charities that give children hope, love and support when they need it most. Their work inspires me and I'm excited to help raise money and awareness for their cause on my upcoming tour."
