The surviving members of the original five VJ's on MTV will release their new memoir VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave on May 7. The four have signed two limited edition advance paperback proofs of the book which will be auctioned off over the next two weeks.

The proceeds from the first auction will go to Best Friends Animal Society who have been instrumental in the relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The society has been distributing food and supplies to a wide area surrounding the hardest hit areas in New Jersey. Best Friends has also been transporting animals affected by the storm to shelters ready to take them and get them into new homes.

• The second auction will benefit New York Cares, New York City's largest volunteer organization. It meets pressing community needs by mobilizing volunteer service year round.
• Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Martha Quinn and Alan Hunter make up the original five.
• The fifth of the VJ's, J.J. Jackson, passed away in 2004.
