CURRENT AUCTIONS

WHY COUNT SHEEP - Join actress Cheryl Hines (HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm) and the American Academy of Nurse of Practitioners (AANP) Foundation in their effort to raise awareness of insomnia, a medical condition that chronically affects 30 million Americans each year.
Counting sheep doesn’t always help you fall asleep, yet many have resorted to this age-old tactic, including actress Cheryl Hines. Hines has experienced insomnia for more than 20 years and now, in conjunction with this charitable effort, she is painting one instead of counting them. Cheryl along with other celebrities including David James Elliott, Angie Everhart, Marlee Matlin, Kathy Najimy, and Jim Palmer have portrayed their personal feelings and emotions associated with insomnia on life-size sheep sculptures.
These celebrity-designed and hand-painted sheep are available right here on eBay now through March 16, 2007. All proceeds from your purchase will support educational initiatives by the AANP focused on raising awareness about insomnia and its impact on those who suffer from this condition. Bid now!
