In support of Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund, the Black Widow of 'Iron Man 2' offers fans a chance to meet her on the opening night of her play 'A View From the Bridge'.

Scarlett Johansson is once again auctioning herself off for a good cause. Showing her support to the relief efforts for the earthquake survivors in Haiti, the "He's Just Not That Into You" beauty held a bidding contest for a chance to meet her on the opening night of her Broadway play "A View From the Bridge".

The highest bidder and three friends will get to watch the play at NYC's Cort Theatre on Sunday, January 24, and join the 25-year-old actress in the meet-and-greet session at the after party. The online auction will be closed on Friday, January 22 on 19:00:34 PST. The bids are now at $530, and fans can start placing their bids on eBay.

All of the proceeds will go to Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund, which is helping to provide clean water and sanitation. The "Iron Man 2" actress earlier released a statement regarding the devastation in Haiti, saying "My heart goes out to the millions of people affected by the tragic events that have afflicted Haiti."

"As an ambassador of Oxfam, I urge those who are able to donate to the organization which currently has over 200 people on the ground and a team of 15 highly-experienced emergency specialists based in the capital that are responding with public health, water and sanitation services to prevent the spread of water borne disease."

This is not the first time Scarlett Johansson auctioned herself off for charity work. Back in 2008, she also offered a pair of tickets and a chauffered trip to accompany her on a 20-minute date to the world premiere of "He's Just Not That Into You". A U.K.-based bidder won the eBay auction to benefit Oxfam after placing 20,000 pounds sterling bids.
