NARSAD Artworks Silver Ribbon Shows Up at Oscar Ceremony


(Great Neck, NY- ) — Ron Howard, who recently won the Academy Award for Best Director of the film, "A Beautiful Mind," (also Best Picture), showed his support for the mentally ill by wearing a silver ribbon on his lapel at the Oscar ceremony. The silver ribbon pin comes from NARSAD Artworks and symbolizes the effort to combat stigma, tear down barriers to treatment and show support for all those who suffer from a brain disorder. Anyone who would like to order a silver ribbon is invited to go to NARSAD Artworks or can call 800-607-2599.

"A Beautiful Mind" is the compelling story of Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Forbes Nash, who battled schizophrenia.
