Todd Ellison from Broadway's "Annie" and Brenda Strong from TNT's "Dallas" Highlight CharityBuzz.com Auction Benefiting The American Fertility Association

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Fertility Association (The AFA) announced today two fundraising packages available on CharityBuzz.com to support their work of educating hopeful parents about family building options.

"The AFA is committed not only to education that inspires people to action, but to raising awareness and normalizing the conversation about fertility, infertility, adoption, and third party reproduction," said AFA Executive Director Ken Mosesian. "The attention that will be generated by these generous contributions will not only help raise much needed funds, but also help raise the profiles of these essential issues," he concluded.

Stuart Bell, National Event Chair and AFA Board Member said that the packages are truly unique. "A one hour master class with Mr. Ellison, the musical director of 'Annie' is something that any aspiring actor or actress would love to have. And who wouldn't want to spend a day at Southfork Ranch with Brenda Strong, living the life of an oil baron's wife!" Mr. Bell also noted that with the tragic passing of Larry Hagman, participating in the "Dallas" package is a poignant way to remember the life of the iconic star.

The auction is timed to coincide with "Illuminations NYC," The AFA's national fundraising event, to be held on December 3rd. AFA National Spokesperson Brenda Strong will host the evening's festivities. The honorees include Cynthia McFadden, Anchor, ABC News Nightline, and Dan Bucatinsky, actor, producer, and author. Presentations will be made by John R. Green, Executive Producer, ABC News, 20/20, and Rosie O'Donnell.

Bidding is open to all through December 11th. The "Dallas" package is available at http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/3231114 and the "Annie" package is available at http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/3231106
