Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O'Neal is giving three fans the chance of a lifetime. After partnering with the luxury charity auction site Charitybuzz.com, the powerful 325-pound center is contributing his skills to benefit a good cause.

Shaq is giving fans the opportunity to play him in a pick-up basketball game which is the ideal part of the package.

Proceeds from the auction go to the Jenesse Center, a nonprofit organization helping victims of domestic abuse.

The winners will receive airfare to Los Angeles, and they will be staying at a trendy L.A. hotel for two nights before getting the chance to play the towering 7-foot-1 center on the court. Winners will also receive an autographed basketball from Shaq.

The auction will end on May 4. Charitybuzz is valuing the experience at $10,000 and is already looking at bids of up to $4,550.
