What:
Hollywood's brightest stars, including Expedition Inspiration Auction Chair Tea Leoni, David Duchovny, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor and others, will gather at Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles for "Rock the Cure," a star-studded event to raise awareness and money for The Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research. The event will feature a live auction of 50 custom-made Gibson SG Special guitars designed and decorated by such rock icons and entertainment greats as Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart, No Doubt, Richie Sambora, Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, Kiefer Sutherland, David Carradine, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Brian Johnson of AC/DC, and others.

A guitar designed by Wendy and Kim Cobain, mother and sister of late multi-platinum Nirvana front man, Kurt Cobain, will also be sold. Kurt's mother is a breast cancer survivor and has decorated the Cobain Family guitar with never-seen-before photos of the grunge artist. Money raised will fund promising new research at the USC/Norris and UCLA/Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centers, both leaders in cancer prevention and research.

The event at Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles is closed to the general public, but consumers will have the opportunity to begin bidding on the guitars April 24, 2005 online at www.juliensauctions.com. The online portion of the public auction will end at midnight on May 3, pausing briefly for the live auction between 8:30 and 10 p.m.
