Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Charity Work Crushes the Competition

Forget breaking mere bread.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is upping the charity auction stakes by offering fans the opportunity to pump iron, co-pilot a tank and possibly chomp some stogies, all in the name of putting more money in the hands of After-School All-Stars.

Schwarzenegger has apparently owned the ground-pounding M47 Patton tank for 20-odd years now, but only trots it out on extra special occasions.   Keeping his youth-oriented athletic program going — the non-profit organization boasts chapters across the country, including an outpost in Washington, D.C. — clearly qualifies, as Schwarzenegger is contributing his time (“you’ll live like Arnold for a day!” the contest page trumpets) and the tank adventure for only $10 (single entry).   Whoever does win the <a href="https://www.omaze.com/experiences/arnold-schwarzenegger" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">all-inclusive trip</a> out to LA should take comfort in knowing that their time will not be wasted: Ah-nuld has been on the vanguard of crushing stuff for decades. <iframe width="445" height="334" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xAdzBaPDmJk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""/> Meanwhile, confidence is high you’ll eat like a king The King.   Just a few weeks back, Schwarzenegger employed that very same armored ride as a cook-top to help prepare a 78,000-plus calorie bomb envisioned by the maniacs behind “Epic Meal Time.” <iframe width="445" height="250" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dg4rylxSg5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""/> Entry fees for that <a href="https://www.omaze.com/experiences/make-an-epic-meal-with-harley" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dream package</a> (starting at $10) are also expected to flow through to ASAS. </body>
