Raleigh Tornado Fundraiser

The folks over at Indie NC are organizing an online fundraiser to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Raleigh whose locations in Southeast Raleigh were severely damaged during the recent bout of tornadoes that hit the area. The club serves as a hub for that neighborhood's children and 100% of the proceeds from all sales at www.raleightornadofundraiser.com will go to the club. Their goal is to reach $5,000 by May 20. Not only is it a great cause, but there are some mighty fine offerings by some mighty generous artists.

Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser

This Saturday is the 3rd Annual Art for the Cure of Cystic Fibrosis (ACCF) here in Ann Arbor at Conor O'Neill's starting at 7 p.m. The event includes a silent auction with work from local artists. ACCF was created in honor of a young woman in town who sadly lost her battle with CF in November 2008. You can find out more about the event here. Below is the print I have donated for the auction. If you're in the area, we would love to see you there.
