Hi, I wanted to let everyone know about the new Emmaus Community online sports memorabilia auction. The auction includes such great Pittsburgh sports items as footballs signed by Chuck Noll, Hines Ward, Mike Tomlin, and Dick Lebeau; a helmet signed by Chuck Noll; a Penguins jersey signed by Sidney Crosby; and more! Please visit our auction at http://www.charityonlineauctions.com/emmaus.html. All proceeds benefit the Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh, a community which serves persons with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation) and promotes public awareness of their needs.
