The irreplaceable archives of Helen Keller (original letters and photos) were lost when the headquarters of Helen Keller Worldwide (HKW), located adjacent to the World Trade Center in New York City, was completely destroyed on September 11th. HKW is dedicated to preventing blindness around the world.

The syndicated game show Hollywood Squares is bringing together a select group of music legends for a special "Classic Music Week," airing nationally on January 7-11, 2002. Each of the musicians/singers has autographed a collector's edition vintage 1959 Continental 2 Stereo jukebox and autograph book, which will be auctioned off separately on eBay.com during January 10-20, 2002, with all proceeds benefiting Helen Keller Worldwide.

With assistance, HKW is confident the organization can emerge from the disaster with a renewed sense of dedication and commitment in preventing blindness, restoring sight and providing rehabilitation services to those in need. John Palmer, President of HKW, reminds us of Helen Keller's thoughtful words in such circumstances, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." http://www.hollywoodsquares.com.
