Well it's that time again. Your latest update on this years event. I have a lot of news regarding our annual Comics 4 A Cure event. Again, it is Sept . 8, 2012, 11 am, @ Famous, Faces, and Funnies in Melbourne, FL off of 192. We have been getting in a steady stream of original sketches, Original comic pages, and sketchbooks for our silent auction and raffle. And alot more are on the way. I will post the pics up as they come in so you can see the outpouring of generosity we have experienced this year. Thank you to all the artists, and everyone for their donations so far. We are expecting and hoping for a great turnout this year!
A big thanks also to Sun on The Beach restaurant in Satellite Beach off A1A for donating lunch for the employees and artists who will be on hand all day drawing sketches for a small donation. Remember ALL MONEY RAISED goes directly to the LLS. We do these events to raise awareness and funds for the LLS all with the intention of bringing art therapy to Cancer patients everywhere. If you would like to donate please contact us either on here or through our Facebook page www.facebook.com/comics4acure.
Our Ultimate Goal
My goal is to have our annual event, with the proceeds benefiting the LLS. And then to become a non for profit agency ourselves, procuring outside funding to buy art supplies and provide them to Cancer wards in various hospitals. It will benefit children's wards as well as for adults. Also, to work with various hospitals, starting in Brevard County and then expanding, by bringing in local artists
to speak with the patients and engage them in open dialogue about art and the basics. As well as bringing in awareness of the theraputic benefits of art while in treatment. Art is life, it's about creation, and it's a proven fact that exercising your "left brain" enhances mood, spirit, and encourages a better perspective on things. I want to provide that perspective and therapy to the Cancer community. Along with bringing more awareness of the importance of bone marrow donorship to the general public. I have so much I want to do with this organization, and am grateful for all of your continued support in helping me achieve my dream. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
Donated Pieces so far
Now for some really great donated pieces..and again thanks to all those who donated so far or planning on it..without your art we could never hope to achieve the future that we are looking towards. Thanks!
Keu Cha -Original Double Splash Nottingham pages
Not up for raffle but an awesome letter received from Scott McDaniels commending our work for the LLS and approx value of the piece donated.
So as you all can see so far we have some amazing items for this years event. Plus artists there for sketches (for a small donation), raffles, silent auction, face painting, and much more. Also we will signing those up who wish to, for bone marrow donorship. Can't wait to see everyone out @ Famous, Faces, and Funnies Sept. 8, 2012 @ 11am!
