Dear friends,

As many of you have already read, Courtney Cox has challenged her friends to raise $1 million dollars in two weeks. Well, here is some even better news. Stiefel Laboratories, a dermatological pharmaceutical company has phoned in a matching pledge! They will match up to $1 million in donations made until April 6, 2008. To double our fundraising efforts at this crucial time in our research is truly a gift, but we need your help.

The matching gift only works if there are donations to match. If you were ever thinking of making a financial donation to EBMRF, THE TIME IS NOW. Please consider making a donation through the website (www.ebkids.org) or by sending a tax-deductible donation TODAY and it will be doubled with Stiefel's donation. Your check may be mailed directly to:

EBMRF
8909 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 222
Beverly Hills, Ca. 90211
