Butterfly Wishes for Ellie is an annual event in honor of Ellie Tavani, a beautiful little girl who was born in April 2006 with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Our 3rd Annual Butterfly Wishes For Ellie Benefit and Silent Auction will be held on April 23, 2009 at Park Tavern in Midtown. Money raised at this event will benefit the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association of America (DebRA). Our goal is to raise $40,000 that DebRA will use for research funding and to assist other families like ours who are dealing with the daily struggle of EB.

DebRA provides funding for research of EB and support for families who suffer from the disease. Donations and tickets to the event are tax deductible.
