Sara Evans Joins Fight Against Eating Disorders

11/21/2007 Stephen L. Betts   Sara Evans is helping to fight eating disorders by serving as chair of the third annual Every BODY is Beautiful Online Auction, a fundraising program for the National Eating Disorders Association. The online auction features more than 200 items, including tickets to an upcoming Sara Evans concert; guitars autographed by musicians including Bucky Covington, Eric Clapton and James Brown; and lots of other memorabilia from Country Music Association award winners Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and others. The auction includes great getaways, memorable dining experiences, art, clothing, jewelry, and much more. It runs through Dec. 2 and can be found at www.nationaleatingdisorders.cmarket.com. Sara joined forces with NEDA last year to both promote her interest in educating women about the importance of a positive body image and to generate awareness about eating disorders, which currently affect 10 million women and one million men every year in the U.S. She serves as a NEDA Ambassador, working tirelessly to help the organization with its education, research and advocacy efforts. "I am committed to helping people with eating disorders," Sara says. "Too many young women fall victim to the idea that only thin is beautiful and end up with debilitating illnesses. I want people to know that eating disorders are preventable and curable, especially when treated in the early stages."
