Pop star Britney Spears is giving the clothes off her back to raise money for the Red Cross to benefit victims of widespread flooding in her home state of Louisiana.
I’ve teamed up with @RedCross and @crowdrise to raise funds for the victims of the horrible flooding in my home state of Louisiana.

Spears, who’s from Kentwood, tweeted out links Tuesday to a fundraising site that offers $10 raffle tickets to win an outfit from her upcoming performance on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards or a trip to New York to see her at the show in person.
Love what our girl @britneyspears is doing to help those in need in Louisiana! 👏 https://t.co/FwOlYciYVh

More than 115,000 people across south Louisiana have signed up for federal disaster assistance after the catastrophic flooding that began Aug. 12. At least 13 deaths have been attributed to the flooding, and more than 60,000 homes were damaged by the storm.
Thank you all for the support for my @crowdrise campaign with @RedCross benefitting the Louisiana flood victims 💖 pic.twitter.com/J2JwTfHK7c
