A jewel-encrusted Furby, a Kevin Garnett Celtics jersey and 16 other props from the film “Uncut Gems” will help fund coronavirus relief efforts in Queens as part of an auction series organized by film and TV studio company A24.

A24’s series of online auctions will sell props from four recent hit productions to support efforts in the fight against COVID-19. The “Gems From Gems” auction, which begins May 4, lists 18 props from “Uncut Gems,” an Oscar-nominated film written and directed by Queens-born filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie. Proceeds will go to Queens Community House.

Three other auctions will also benefit New York City-based nonprofits.

The auction “Midsommar Harga Collectibles” — featuring props from another Oscar nominee, Midsommar — benefits the FDNY Foundation. The auction opens in time for fans to crown their own May Queen with the flower dress worn by star Florence Pugh.

The “Let there be Light” collection, featuring four items from the film “The Lighthouse,” will support the Food Bank For New York City

The current fundraiser “Attic Auction” features a potpourri of props, like a hoodie worn by Zendaya in the hit TV show “Euphoria” and doormats from Ari Aster’s first horror flick “Hereditary.” The auction raised $18,000 in its first day with proceeds going to the Health + Hospitals COVID-19 relief fund.
