Help celebrate National Doodle Day with celebrity doodles!


Doodle by Duff Goldman of Food Network's Ace of Cakes
Since 2007, NF, Inc has been collecting hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind cards from various stars of film, TV, music, and sports in order to raise money for research to find a cure for the genetic nerve disorder. This year we have collected some great ones from Cory Monteith, Kristoffer Polaha, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, Tim Conway, Gillian Anderson, Florence Henderson, Matthew Perry, Howie Mandel, Elizabeth Mitchell, Kal Penn, Lizzy Caplan, Tim Allen, Gary Cole, Melissa Joan Hart, Nolan Gould, Doris Roberts, Amy Poehler, and Tim Daly (among others!).

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that affects one in every 2,500 births. NF is more common than Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy and Huntington's Diseasecombined. Funds raised from the Doodle Day auction will go to support education, advocacy, coalitions, and research for treatments and a cure. To learn more about NF, please visit www.nfinc.org.


NF, Inc is collecting doodles until May 10th and the auctions begin on May 13 (and ends on the 23rd). All proceeds raised from the auctions will go to their cause. Until then, the exact doodles can be previewed here: www.doodledayusa.org/gallery/v/2010 with more to be added as they come in.



My friend Danielle has been very involved with this project this year, and even helped get some of the celebrity doodles. Please check out the doodles, and the auction once it starts. If you can bid, it's a great charity, and would be very appreciated.
