Art auction is underway

I got one artist so far (besides myself) who is donating for my fund raiser. I'm very excited about this. Hopefully more artists will come on board, if not, I'll make due with what I have.

The art auction will be Friday, March 12th, through Sunday, March 14th. I picked this date because my mother's birthday was March 13th, and I'm raising money for her (basically).

In case you haven't visited my fund raising page I'll write it on here: my mother died about 2 1/2 years ago of lymphoma. By the time the doctors spotted it, it was too late. She lived for a few more months in the hospital and then passed away. I joined Team in Training in honor of her and to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, so hopefully they are able to find a cure for this. She was my best friend and I miss her very, very much.

My husband is going to do a bake sale at work for our fund raising (sounds funny but he likes to cook). He's making some honey wheat bread right now for that and I will help him by making some cookies, fudge and eclairs (yum!).

I'll keep you guys updated!

  1. You might try searching for artists at the local high school, community college, local tattoo shops, local art teachers. Advertising may also be available thru these outlets.
