Hayden Panettiere has become the latest star to auction off a date – she’ll take a fan whale watching in return for a hefty charity donation.

The actress will spend a day with the winning bidder and guests on the high seas in August.

The whale watchers will be joined by marine expert and conservationist Jeff Pantukoff.

The eBay.com auction, which runs from May 20th to May 30th, will benefit The Whaleman Foundation, which is Panettiere’s favorite charity.

Panettiere’s deep love for sealife became clear last year when she risked her life by joining protestors in the waters off the coast of Taiji, Japan and attempted to stop fishermen from killing dolphins.

Since then, she has further championed the cause by lending her name to the Save The Whales Again! campaign and heading to Washington D.C. to confront the Japanese, Icelandic and Norwegian embassies about their hunting practices.

The auction is a Save The Whales Again! venture.
