Don't miss your opportunity to support The Jorge Posada Foundation, a non-profit organization established by the New York Yankees' All-Star Catcher, Jorge Posada, and his wife, Laura. Their son, Jorge Luis, was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis when he was just ten days old and has undergone eight major surgeries to correct the condition.

Jorge and Laura are very grateful that all of Jorge Luis' surgeries have been successful and that they were able to financially support the procedures. However, there are many other families who are not as fortunate. Proceeds from the auction will help the Foundation reach out to families in need, whose children are affected by Craniosynostosis, and provide them with emotional support through its family support network; provide financial assistance to underwrite a portion of the costs of initial surgeries in its partner medical centers; and encourage further research of this medical condition. The Foundation also strives to create awareness about the condition through events and through funding other educational outreach efforts.

Save the date: Heroes for Hope Live Gala, Monday, June 16 at The Pierre Hotel in New York City. For ticket information and details, please visit their website.
