Ryan Lochte has always been tireless with his charitable works, but since his headline grabbing performance at the 2012 London Olympic Games — and his commercials, and his TV appearances, and his Vogue Cover — when he does a good deed, it makes world news.
Now the fashion world has taken him in as family. The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) has partnered with the 11-time Olympic medalist to help raise money for their Hurricane Sandy relief fund.
Via Charitybuzz, the online charitable auction site, you can bid on a swimming lesson (aka swimming clinic) with the Olympic star. You can also enjoy lunch at one of his favorite places afterwards.
