Co-stars of HBO's highly acclaimed series Deadwood, Powers Boothe and Meghan Glennon, and actor Jesse Bradford of Swimfan and Bring It On, will join The AFA to shed light on fertility and fertility-related issues.

"The AFA is privileged to honor Cindy and her husband, Guy, for sharing their personal story and bringing issues of fertility into the spotlight," says Pamela Madsen, Executive Director and Founder of The American Fertility Association.

Celebrity supporters, such as David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette, the proud parents of a child conceived through ART, have graciously donated a hand-sketched portrait of their child. The portrait will go to the highest bidder during a live auction, as will a 7-night stay at the privately-owned Florence villa of Italy's Countess Gina Tucci and Count Oscar M. Tucci.

Illuminations benefits The AFA's important efforts in bridging patient and professional communities, including "Footprints: The IVF Children's Health Study," World Infertility Month and The AFA's national and international advocacy efforts. This important event is made possible through the generous support of sponsors like Organon, Serono, Apothecary Shops, the National Fisheries Institute, Growing Generation/Fertility Futures, California Fertility Partners, Southern California Reproductive Center Medical Group, and many other friends and supporters of the fertility community.

The American Fertility Association (AFA) is a national organization dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for men and women concerned with reproductive health, fertility preservation, infertility, adoption and all forms of family building.

World Infertility Month (WIM), held every June, is a month of global outreach and advocacy events to raise awareness for the struggle against reproductive difficulties.
