Who: B.J. Viau, seventeen-year-old founder of the Twin Cities
Shoot for a Cure Huntington's Disease Hoop-a-thon, will
share the spotlight at this year's event with teen TV
star, Billy Aaron Brown, of "8 Rules for Dating My Teenage
Daughter." B.J. Viau is the son of Bryan Viau, president
of Minneapolis-based Loss Control Solutions (LCS), a

What: The seventh annual Twin Cities Shoot for a Cure
Hoop-a-thon benefits medical research toward finding a
cure for Huntington's Disease (HD). At the event,
participants shoot free throws for five minutes, and
sponsors pledge a specific amount of money for every
basket that the shooter sinks. This year, LCS will be
sponsoring or pledging money for every basket made by the
Eastview High School basketball team and challenging other
sponsors to match those pledges. Additionally, an
anonymous donor will match all money raised - dollar for
dollar.
Why: HD is an inherited genetic disorder resulting in a slow
and irreversible loss of both mental and physical
capacity. There are 30,000 people in the United States
currently diagnosed with HD, and each of their siblings
and children has a 50 percent chance of developing the
disease. Over the past six years, the event has raised
approximately $200,000 for medical research. Funds from
the 2002 and 2003 Hoop-a-thon are being used to fund
research conducted by Dr. Janet Dubinsky, associate
professor in the department of Neuroscience at the
University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The Hoop-a-thon
was founded by B.J. Viau after his mother, Debbie, was
diagnosed with HD several years ago.
When: March 7, 2004 at 1 p.m.- 4 p.m.
Where: Falcon Ridge Middle School
12900 Johnny Cake Ridge Rd.
Apple Valley, Minn. 55124
