David Arquette will be living in a plexiglas box above the Madison Square Garden Marquee in New York City to raise money and awareness for domestic hunger. Arquette will be tapping into his inner David Blaine on Tuesday July, 14 and Wednesday July, 15.
The 37-year-old actor plans to stay in a Plexiglas box above the Madison Square Garden marquee on Tuesday and Wednesday to raise $250,000 for Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger relief charity.
He'll stay in the box each day for about eight hours. Donations can come on site or through text messages or a Facebook page set up by Mars Inc., the company that makes Snickers candy bars.
A Mars spokesman says Arquette will eat during his two-day stay in the plastic enclosure.
Arquette is married to Courtney Cox-Arquette of Friends.

Wow, this is something I would like to see. Good Luck Arquette. It's always nice to see celebrities looking to help out the less fortunate.

How big is the box? Will he be able to stand up?
I also don't understand how this relates to hunger? Because he'll be hungry for eight hours then get out and have a Big Mac?
