Art for ALS - Online Auction in Progress!, by remebrigs on Jun 8, 2016 19:20:41 GMT 1, Dear amazing friends,

We are a week away and I invite you to join me for a very special night.  On Wednesday, June 15 we are hosting an art auction in Santa Monica at the Arena 1 Gallery from 7-10pm to raise funds for ALS research.

What is ALS?  ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive motor neuron disease that results in the inability of the brain to initiate muscle movement.  People diagnosed with ALS generally lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, then breathe, leading to their death in 2-4 years.  From the time someone is diagnosed to the time of death, patients experience total body paralyzation while their brain and thought process are left completely intact, trapped in an otherwise perfectly healthy body.

It is a stellar collection of works shared by top artists and celebrities.  Including our friends Blek Le Rat, Mr. Andre, Shepard Fairey, Faile, David LaChapelle, Cryptik, Abcnt and many more!  I'm truly blown away by the generosity.  Our roster just earned us a piece in the Huffington Post. 

Next year I'll do better at getting you know who involved!!

Bidding has already started – check it out here and find your favorites.  Please buy tix here ($50 each, fully tax-deductible) and join me.  Music, food, drinks and art – a great way to start summer.

PS.  You do not need to attend to the event to bid on the art!

Thank you and see you next Wednesday!
