    Buy Duchovny dinner and help local actress's cancer fight

    Babz Chula's peers auctioning off meals and memorabilia

    Glen Schaefer, The Province
    Published: Friday, March 28, 2008

    A group of actors on both sides of the border are going online to raise money to fund the cancer treatment for one of Vancouver's most popular actors.

    Up for EBay auction are dinner dates with a host of talents ranging from Corner Gas's Gabrielle Miller to David Duchovny of The X-Files, in aid of Babz Chula's battle with the cancer that has recently spread from her breast to her liver.

    Chula, the perennially youthful veteran of nearly four decades in Vancouver's movie, theatre and music scenes, needs an expensive new treatment developed in Austria that isn't covered by provincial health benefits.

    A group of her friends got together recently at the Vancouver home of Men In Trees co-stars Suleka Mathew and Nicholas Lea to think of ways to help, and came up with the online auction. Also up for grabs in the auction starting April 2 are nights out with musician Matthew Good, The X-Files creator Chris Carter, Robson Arms star John Cassini and actors from TV's Stargate: Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica. The group is also auctioning off signed movie and TV memorabilia, including items from Carter and Duchovny's recently-wrapped The X-Files feature film.

      Duchovny, Others Aid Ill Friend

      The X-Files star David Duchovny, Stargate Atlantis cast members Paul McGillion and Jewel Staite and Battlestar Galactica stars Tahmoh Penikett and Kandyse McClure are among the actors auctioning off dinner dates to fund the cancer treatment of a fellow actor in Vancouver, Canada, the Vancouver Province newspaper reported.

      The stars are auctioning off personal dinner dates and other items on eBay to benefit Babz Chula, a fixture in the Canadian city's movie, theater and music scenes, whose cancer has recently spread from her breast to her liver. Chula is seeking treatment in Austria that isn't covered by her health insurance, the newspaper reported.

      http://www.babzchulasociety.org/

      Chula's friends, including Men in Trees co-stars Suleka Mathew and Nicholas Lea (formerly of The X-Files), came up with the online auction, which runs through April 12.

      Also on sale: dinner dates with musician Matthew Good and X-Files creator Chris Carter, as well as TV and movie memorabilia.

      The newly formed Babz Chula Lifeline for Artists Society also aims to help other artists in need and is planning other projects to raise money and awareness.
