Hearts for Anna - a Fundraiser
I have been asked to participate in a fundraiser for a fellow Artful Home artist. Here is an excerpt from the email I received. Many of you are aware that the Artful Home is chock full of the highest quality artwork produced by award winning artists. I am honored to be a part of such an esteemed group. You'll recognize Anna Millea's gorgeous hand painted work, too.
Cancer. No Insurance. Can this really be happening to one of our artists?
Anna Millea, a longtime Guild and Artful Home artist, is fighting breast cancer - again. The disease has returned aggressively and is now in her bones, requiring an extreme sixteen rounds of chemotherapy. She has no insurance, having been deemed uninsurable due to her "pre-existing condition."
When we at The Guild/Artful Home learned of this we knew we needed to do something to try to help her through this situation. What we have come up with is an event we are calling "Hearts for Anna", to which we hope you will contribute and donate a little bit of your time and talent.
Artful Home will hold a 5-day online event, "Hearts for Anna", August 12-16, 2009 in which miniature artworks, no larger than 5" x 7", will be sold. The items will be sold first-come, first serve, with all items selling for $100 on Day 1, $75 on Days 2 - 4, and $50 on Day 5. All money will go to a fund that goes directly to Anna Millea to help pay for her medical bills.
The address is www.artfulhome.com. I will be donating at least 1 piece and am confident there will be many incredible works of art that will be created for this event. I hope you'll participate, too by purchasing a one-of-a-kind piece for your home. Please pass this on to friends & family.
