For the past couple of years, I’ve been asked to donate artwork to the nonprofit organization Women Aware of Siouxland and agreed. Specifically, my donations have been entered into the silent auction held during their Annual Women of Excellence Awards & Banquet. This year’s event is on March 22, 2024, and I donated two ceramic pieces to their cause… so if you’re in the audience, keep an eye out to see if either strike your fancy!

Sierra Club Annual Fundraiser
If you're not attending the University of Saint Mary's SpireFest this Saturday, you should consider visiting the Sierra Club's 2016 Annual Fundraiser! For the second year in a row, I've donated artwork - this year I donated an aluminum print, a matted paper print, and three packaged greeting cards - for their silent auction. I raised $300 last year through my donation of an original drawing on panel, so I'm interested to see what the reproductions bundle will go for!
2016 SpireFest
Every year, the University of Saint Mary holds an event called SpireFest which is aimed at raising money for student scholarships. There's a silent auction, student performances and entertainment, food and drink, and even dancing. This year, I've donated a signed, matted print and five greeting cards as an artwork bundle, so keep your fingers crossed it gets some good bids! I'll be there for the third year in a row, so if you're interested in keeping me company, check out this flyer - but hurry, as SpireFest is this Saturday...
