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
