Robert Downey Jr took to Twitter today to announce that the jacket — now signed by himself, Diesel, and several other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars — is up for auction to benefit a charity the actor is involved with, Rohhad Association.

The white, custom-made jacket featuring tiny Groot-like branches along the shoulders and coming out of a chest pocket, was a highlight of the Infinity War premiere. At the time, Diesel joked that the jacket represented Groot coming “out of him.”

“It’s just like Groot coming out of me,” Diesel said. “It’s the Groot coming out of my jacket. I’m talking normal, and next thing you know, branches are growing out my chest. It’s crazy.”

As for the charity the jacket’s auction supports, Rohhad Association, it has a special connection to Infinity War and Downey Jr. Ahead of the film’s release, Downey Jr. made the dreams of 8-year-old British fan Aaron Hunter come true by visiting the terminally hill boy in London. Aaron, who suffers from the rare syndrome called Rapid-Onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation and Autonomic Dysregulation had previously posted a video online asking to meet Downey Jr. After meeting Aaron, Downey Jr. became involved with the Rohhad Association charity, calling on fans to donate to his Random Act Funding for a chance to win a trip to the Infinity War premiere.

Outside of the Groot jacket auction, Downey Jr. is active with Rohhad Association in other was, too. The Iron Man actor recently posted a short video for the charity’s “Muddy Puddle challenge” featuring himself jumping in a, well, muddy puddle, to Van Halen’s “Jump” encouraging his followers to challenge others to “#GOMADJUMPFORROHHAD”.

The jacket is up for auction through Charitybuzz, an online auction site that facilitates the auction of various items and experiences by celebrities to benefit charity. The auction for Diesel’s Groot jacket will run through June 14, 2018 and is currently at $2,500. You can check it out here.

Not that the drawings aren’t heartwarmingly adorable. In fact, a few of them are so endearing that you’d swear preschoolers had a hand in crafting them. All in all, the character drawings — from Chadwick Boseman’s rendition of Black Panther to Josh Brolin’s interpretation of Infinity War villain Thanos — are currently being auctioned off as a part of Marvel Studios Hero Acts to Starlight Children’s Foundation to support Starlight’s work with hospitalized children. And seriously, it doesn’t get much more touching than that.

While some of the portraits are adorably childlike, there are quite a few impressive ones in the mix too. Sure, Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, Brolin’s Thanos, and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch look more abstract than life like. But after looking at Boseman’s drawing of Black Panther, Dave Bautista’s take on Drax, Sebastian Stan’s doodle of Winter Soldier, and Scarlett Johansson’s sketch of Mark Ruffalo, you’ll be amazed at how well they all work with crayons and pencils — especially when asked to create a work of art on the fly.

As mentioned before, all of the character portraits were donated by Marvel Studios to benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation — a nonprofit that makes it their business to make the lengthy hospital stays for children patients and their families way more enjoyable. Through many program initiatives — such as providing child-friendly gowns to patients, donating virtual equipment to hospitals, and collecting and distributing millions of dollars worth of toys, books, and arts and craft materials to patients — the organization definitely goes above and beyond to make hospitals feel as close to a wonderland as possible for young people who are already going through so much.

And right now, on CharityBuzz, fans can assist the Infinity War team and Marvel (and whomever drew Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing Iron Man portrait, of course) in making more dreams come true by purchasing one of the celebrity drawings— currently ranging anywhere from $650 to a whopping $5,000 plus.

It’s always nice seeing your favorite celebrities get involved in giving back, and though their art was created in the context of fun, the Infinity War cast is sure to affect the lives of hospitalized children in a major way.

Since its April 27 premiere, Infinity War has garnered a record-breaking $258 million domestically during the box office’s opening weekend, knocking Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ $247.9 opening weekend off of the top spot. The record seemingly puts the Marvel film on track to be one of the most successful movies of 2018, and possibly the most successful film in the entire MCU so far. And with that, there’s no better time for the cast and studio to show their gratitude than to use some of their celebrity and hidden talents to give back to their fans by supporting such an amazing cause.

Not only are the Infinity War cast heroes on the big screen, they’re also setting the same kind of precedent for their off-screen lives as well. Seeing them do so in order to put smiles on the faces of the kids who need their support the most makes their actions all the more heroic. They may not have shields and capes in real life, but these actors know how to use their success to make a meaningful difference in the world, and that’s a beautiful thing.
