Welcome to my auction post for The Paint Party Friday Auction Blog Hop to Benefit the Sandy Hook Elementary School
On December 14th, 2012, 20 innocent children and 6
brave adults lost their lives in the second deadliest shooting in
American history. Like everyone else, I was profoundly touched by this tragedy. Next to keeping our children safe at home, we trust them to be safe at school. What happened was unimaginable.
I thought the metaphors of new growth, rebirth and renewal, were fitting tributes to the lives lost at Sandy Hook. Because I am committed to making the world a more peaceful place, I chose Sandy Hook Promise as the charity to receive the proceeds from my auction. The mission of Sandy Hook Promise is to:
1. Help the community heal and provide ait to the family members who lost loved ones, to survivors, teachers, staff, first responders and to the Newton community;
2. Bring together, in local and national dialogue, the great majority of Americans who agree that we must find common sense solutions to make our communities and our country safer.
What I Am Auctioning:
I'm auctioning off this set of 4 mixed media 4x4" canvases.
The backs are signed and dated by me, and the little easels are included so that they are ready for immediate display!
Auction Specifics:
This auction runs from Friday March 15th, 2013 until
Monday March 18th, 2013 at 11:59 pm EDT.
