Below is the HDSA announcement on the eBay auction for a signed lithograph by Tony Bennett, also known as Anthony Benedetto in the world of art collectors! This item was donated to the HDSA National Youth Alliance by a benefactor to raise funds for the 2009 NYA Convention Scholarship Fund. The 2008 NYA convention scholarship fund provided 25 full scholarships to children or young adults from 13 states this year, who otherwise would not have been able to attend the convention in Pittsburgh this June. Of those, over 50% have been diagnosed HD positive and for 10 of the winners this will be their first opportunity to attend a national Huntington's Disease convention giving them the chance to find people who truly understand them through peer-support as well being able to attend many educational workshops. In order to award full scholarships to all twenty-five young people who applied this year, we had use almost 100% of the NYA Convention Scholarship Fund!
The below is a high dollar item for art lovers or collectors of art! However, all of the winning bid money will first go to HDSA and then matched by a HDSA donor, then the original bid amount will go towards the 2009 HDSA National Youth Alliance Convention Scholarship Fund and the matched portion will go toward HDSA's HD Research projects.
So the winner will not only have a beautiful piece of artwork but they'll be able to enjoy it even more knowing they helped HD Research and young people from HD families! If you know anyone who collects art, or who is a lover of Tony Bennett, please share this message with them. Who knows, YOUR sharing this information on this auction with your friends & family might be the one that reaches the person who will win the bid on this auction!
Thank you!
Your NYA Adult Advisors
