June is National Scleroderma Awareness Month

14th Annual Ellen Ehrhart Medical Symposium

On Saturday, June 4, 2011, more than 50 people came out to North Broward Medical Center for the Scleroderma Foundations 14th Annual Ellen Ehrhart Medical Symposium sponsored by Actelion Pharmaceuticals, US, Inc. The day was a huge success and everyone in attendance was very excited with the wealth of information that was presented.

We would like to thank all of our guest speakers for volunteering their time on a Saturday to educate all of our attendees. These highly renowned medical professionals presented and discussed topics dealing with ophthalmology, acupuncture and dermatology. Following each presentation, audience members were given the opportunity to ask specific questions related to their own scleroderma issues. This question and answer period was extremely helpful.

We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to the following speakers: Dr. Gabriel Velasquez, Dr. Michael Ritter and Dr. Brad Glick. Thank you also to Actelion Pharmaceuticals for making this event possible.

Save The Date!

Our Stepping Out To Cure Scleroderma will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2011, at Tradewinds Park. We will be meeting at the Fritillary Pavilion with registration beginning at 9 a.m. More details coming soon!

Hard Rock Café Celebrates 40 Years by Honoring Local Ruth GreenspanHeroes

As part of their 40 Days That Rock, and in honor of Founders Day, the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, FL, celebrated the achievements of 40 individuals who have made a positive impact in the community. 

Our own Ruth Greenspan was honored as one of the local heroes for all of her contributions to the Scleroderma Foundation of Southeast Florida. The event took place on June 14, 2011, the actual 40th anniversary of the opening of the location in London. It was a joyous event with representatives from many local charities. The staff was dressed in uniforms from 40 years ago.

Thanks to Hard Rock for their charitable work in our community.
