Robert Griffin III, the Christian Washington Redskins quarterback, is auctioning off a cast he used late last year after dislocating his ankle to benefit his new charity.

Griffin, the 24-year-old Christian QB, and his wife Rebecca Griffin decided to start the new year by debuting a website for their Family of 3 charitable organization. Now he is raising money for the organization by auctioning off his old cast.

An item description on the organization website describes the item that people are bidding on before the auction ends on Feb 13.

"After dislocating his ankle in the Sept. 14th game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Robert was forced to wear this cast," the item description on the Family of 3 website reads. "In a show of support for their teammate, the entire team signed the cast. Notable signatures include: Alfred Morris, DeAngelo Hall, DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and many more."

The Family of 3 organization website offers people a way to "become a member of the family and make a difference," and the Griffins described ways to do just that in a statement to The Christian Post at the start of 2015.

"As we begin a New Year, we are filled with excitement as our mission to make a lasting, positive impact on the world is finally underway with the release of our new foundation website familyof3.org," the Griffins said in a statement. "When you visit the website, you will find that there are many ways that you can become a member of the Family, and make a difference. You can do this through getting official Family of 3 wristbands, bidding on one of our unique auction items, placing a flat donation, and/or by just spreading the word as far as you can via social media."
