Our first art piece of the live auction is an amazing piece that is generously donated by Mill Valley's own Regina O'Connell at the Barefoot Art Gallery and the Estate of Roy Gover.
This Roy Gover original art work is an oil on paper. Circa 1960. This painting is one of approximately two hundred paintings done in this medium by the artist in the early 1960's. This body of work was most recently opened and shown for the first time to the public. The artist is more widely known for his watercolors and collage that often reflect the Miro, Paul Klee style. His work has been shown in SFMOMA - 1971 and The Palace of the Legion of Honor -1966. There are three other paintings among this particular body of work that could be shown along side this untitled piece, as a series. Also found within this huge collection of oil on paper, were landscapes of West Marin, portraits and figuratives. Collectors of his work are thrilled to see this medium, which had not previously been strongly identified with Roy Gover. As is with all his works, it is executed beautifully.
To see all of Roy's work, stop by the Barefoot Art Gallery at 20 Sunnyside Avenue in Mill Valley or visit http://www.barefootartgallery.com/

Mid Century Modern - Live Auction Lot #3
Dear Friends of Hayden's Hope,
Our third Live Auction item is a treat for anyone who loves mid century modern design. We are very thankful to Knoll for their generous donation of a Bertoia Asymmetric Chaise Lounge Chair.
This masterpiece of mid-century experimental design is one of the largest that Harry Bertoia produced. Bertoia designed it in the early 50's but only made one prototype. Knoll started producing this piece in 2005, only after the prototype, which had been lost for 50 years, was found at Auction in Chicago in 2003. It sold to a private collector for over $100,000.
With his iconic seating collection, Harry Bertoia transformed industrial wire rods into a new furniture form. The events that made this work possible began a decade earlier at Cranbrook Academy of Art when Bertoia met Florence Knoll Bassett (then Florence Schust). Years later, the Italian-born designer was invited to work for Florence and her husband Hans Knoll. The terms were favorable to the artist and Bertoia was given the freedom to work on whatever suited him, without being held to a strict design agenda. The result of this arrangement was the Bertoia Seating Collection (1952).

We look forward to seeing you at the event.

Live Auction Lot - Demi Barrel (5 Cases) of Entres Nous Cabernet Sauvignon from Kristine Ashe Vineyards
John and I would like to introduce you to one of our exciting live auction items for this year's Hayden's Hope event.
We are thrilled to have a demi-barrel (5 cases) of beautiful Entres Nous cabernet sauvignon from Kristine Ashe Vineyards. This is a new and up-and-coming vineyard whose cabernet sauvignon has been compared to the much acclaimed Screaming Eagle, among notable others. The Entres Nous inaugural vintage quickly sold out, and thanks to Kristine, we are lucky enough to be auctioning a demi-barrel at this year's event. Kristine's wine has been lovingly grown, harvested, and barreled by a team of Napa's most talented growers and winemakers, including vineyard architect David Abreu, vineyard manager Jim Barbour, and world-class winemaker Philippe Melka. As a winner of this auction item, you will be able to design and personalize your own label for this wine. What a wonderful holiday gift this could be!
To learn more about Kristine Ashe Vineyards go to www.kristineashevineyards.com
We look forward to seeing you on November 13th!
Best,
Megan and John Pheif

We are excited to bring you this year's benefit - Picture A Cure on November 13th.
Dear Friends of Hayden’s Hope,
We are so excited to bring you this year’s benefit, “Picture –A- Cure” on November 13th. We are less than a month away and are busy making final preparations.
This year’s event brings us back to our roots as a silent and live auction benefit. The evening’s honored guest, Dr. Frederick Kaplan, head of Research at the FOP lab at University of Pennsylvania, will be giving us a brief overview of what your generous donations have done for the FOP lab this past year.
In the spirit of “Picture – A – Cure” we are having a photo booth so we can not only “picture a cure”, but also picture you – our supporters. Go on, take a portrait or a group picture…be silly or be serious… wear some props or not. Make sure you stop by the booth so we can add your picture to our “Hope Gallery” which will be on display at the event.
Finally, to help you get as excited about the event as we are, we are going to start highlighting some of our fabulous auction items via email. Look for our first preview later this week.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone that you think would enjoy attending the event.
Event and drawing tickets can be purchased on line by clicking on the 2010 Fundraiser tab or by clicking here.

Congratulations to the Founder of the International FOP Association
Each year, the Central Florida Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) honors individuals and corporations that have made a difference in our communities. This year marks the 25th Annual National Philanthropy Day, an event which provides an opportunity to publicly acknowledge and express appreciation for these outstanding individuals, corporations and fundraising professionals in the community. This year Jeanie Peeper, who founded the International FOP Association (or IFOPA), is being honored for her many years of dedication to raising awareness and research funds for those with FOP.
Only after Jeanie graduated from college did she learn that there were other people in the world with FOP. Contacting some of those patients gave Jeanie the incentive to start the International FOP Association in 1988. In its infancy, IFOPA was first a pen pal group and also started to do fundraising for FOP research. Jeanie's goal for herself and others was to end the isolation of living with FOP.
As of 2010, the IFOPA has 725 members represented in 57 countries worldwide, with 285 international members (outside the U.S.) with FOP and 180 members with FOP living in the U.S. Thanks to this global community, they have been able to partner with other FOP organizations around the world, including ones established in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Peru, Scandinavia, Spain and The Netherlands.
