Que emo\u00e7\u00e3o ter o Public Service Announcement (PSA) da The Progeria Research Foundation no ar no Astrovision na Times Square de Nova York duas vezes por hora, a cada hora durante o m\u00eas de novembro! E o momento \u00e9 \u00f3timo tamb\u00e9m, j\u00e1 que a Times Square atrai grandes multid\u00f5es de compras de fim de ano em novembro.<\/p>\n
E a conscientiza\u00e7\u00e3o do trabalho da PRF continua a crescer com o apoio da PSA pelo Ad Council, uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o altamente respeitada cujo endosso \u00e9 considerado o "selo de aprova\u00e7\u00e3o" para campanhas da PSA. Esta \u00e9 outra oportunidade fant\u00e1stica para maior exposi\u00e7\u00e3o da PRF, que ser\u00e1 apresentada no Boletim PSA de novembro\/dezembro do Ad Council, distribu\u00eddo aos diretores da PSA em 18.000 ve\u00edculos de m\u00eddia em todo o pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

What a thrill to have The Progeria Research Foundation\u2019s Public Service Announcement (PSA) air on the Astrovision in New York City\u2019s Times Square twice an hour, every hour during the month of November! And the timing is terrific, too, as Times Square attracts huge holiday shopping crowds in November.<\/p>
