Sit On It!

I've been asked to paint and donate a chair to the Young Womens Resource Center annual fundraiser, Sit On It! I'm really honored and quite excited about this. What a great way to show off artists' work, but still raise a lot of money for a great cause. I'll update with photos once I have a master plan in place.

Here's the information:

April 4, 2009 - Sit On It!

The Young Women’s Resource Center will hold the tenth annual Sit On It! on April 4th, at Forte Banquet Center and we invite you to attend! There will be music, food and great company, all for a fantastic cause.

Sit On It! creatively combines the community support of local arts with much needed fundraising to support girls and young women in our community. Each year more than 30 Des Moines area artists design, create and donate functional objects of art for auction at Sit On It!, including one-of-a-kind chairs, tables, sculptures, paintings, pottery, jewelry and much more! A silent auction of creative packages donated from dozens of Des Moines area businesses and sports teams is also part of the event.

More than 400 people attend this event each year. Last year’s Sit On It! raised over $55,000 for the Center. This important revenue provides more young women and girls a chance to realize their full potential through Young Women’s Resource Center programming.

If you would like to attend this fabulous event or if you would like to sponsor Sit On It! or donate art, please contact Christina Heth, Volunteer Services/Special Events Coordinator at 515-244-4901 or cheth@ywrc.org.
