This Sunday, the cast & crew of Heroes are doing a benefit called "Heroes for Autism" over at the Avalon in Hollywood. Up for auction will be artworks done by the cast and crew of Heroes. I first found out about this from Chris Haston who does stills for the show. Chris has been working on a personal project called "Riding With Mary" and is one of the 23 artists who have donated works up for silent auction. All funds will be donated to Autism Speaks.
From Heroes for Autism website :
