Benefit Event was a Huge Success!

Our fundraiser on May 30 was a huge success. We raised about $900 for the project!

The event began at 7:00 and we sold the first piece right away! Six pieces of art were sold, as well as many cards, photographs and Building New Hope Fairly Traded Coffee. We also sold many raffle tickets to raffle off 17 gift certificates donated from various local businesses.


We would like to thank Andrew Watson and AJ Schaffer, owners of Your Inner Vagabond Coffeehouse and World Lounge for hosting the event, for allowing us to use their beautiful space, and for Andrew's organizing the Globalista Jam. Please stop by to patronize their business and to see how beautifully they have decorated their space!


We want to thank EVERYONE who stopped by to chat, to learn, to make a donation, purchase artwork, etc. I also wanted to thank everyone who donated their time, talents, efforts and kindness to make the event very successful.
