Butch Vig, the producer behind Nirvana, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and others, is putting his skills on the auction block to help raise money for The Pablove Foundation, a pediatric cancer charity.

The winning bidder will spend a day with Butch Vig at Dangerbird Studios in Los Angeles, CA:
 
As the winner of this auction, you'll have access to Butch’s talent and Dangerbird’s star-powered facilities plus a mind-bending selection of instruments, amps and outboard equipment as you and Butch work together to maximize the potential of your original track. Hear your musical vision come to life and learn the secrets of Butch’s production techniques as you two work together to bring your song to its peak during this 1 Day, 10 Hour Session.

This sounds like a neat opportunity and a great example of a musician supporting a good cause with his skills, too.
