Dear SBA Supporter:

SBA has an exciting opportunity available to its supporters to help the
organization raise $10,000 through an online sweepstakes promoting the CBS Films inspirational drama "Extraordinary Measures" starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser premiering in theaters January 22, 2010.

How does the promotion work:

CBS Films, the producer of "Extraordinary Measures," has developed an
inspirational digital quilt (
http://extraordinarymeasuresthemovie.com/#/quilt)

where real life videos of courage, endurance, and triumph are showcased. These videos have been selected, in part, because they support the theme of the movie.

We are excited to announce that SBA's video "Abigail Branson Not Limited
by Spina Bifida" has been selected for inclusion in the quilt.

Viewers of the site can vote to support the video they enjoy. The video
which receives the most votes will win $10,000 for the charity. The
winner will be announced on or around February 5, 2010.

Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the number of eligible video
entries and votes received during the submission period. Each vote on
our video is another "entry point" into the Sweepstakes. The more votes
our video receives the greater our chances of winning.

Film Background

In the tradition of great inspirational dramas like the Academy Award
nominated films "Erin Brockovich" and The Pursuit of Happyness,"
"Extraordinary Measures"
http://extraordinarymeasuresthemovie.com/#/home
is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied
conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family's future to
pursue a cure for his children's life threatening disease. From his
working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to
taste success in corporate America. Supported by his wife Aileen (Keri
Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just
as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two
youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal
disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and
determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and
unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford).
