Raising support for real superheroes

In support of mental healthcare for veterans and their families, our organization participated in an auction. I drafted speaking notes for our board chair to introduce the marquee auction item, Andy Warhol’s iconic Superman.

Introducing “Superman” by Andy Warhol

Here we have the most iconic hero of our time, painted by the most iconic painter of the twentieth century.

Kids across America idolized Superman, including Andy Warhol, and millions of people who would one day defend our country.

By winning the bid on this artwork, you are supporting real superheroes.

• The veterans, who risked everything for our safety, and who face incredible challenges when they return home.

• Their families, who made extraordinary sacrifices so that the rest of us could enjoy peaceful holidays with our families.

• And the specialists at NYU Langone, who dedicate their lives to caring for wounds we can’t see. And, who take unique, tailored approaches to complex mental health issues.

This is an incredible opportunity to advance these crucial services to thousands of veterans and families.

Add a brilliant piece to your collection that will remind you of the impact they made on your life, and the impact you made on theirs.
