Eight Years & $50,000!
With our recent sales/donations over New Year’s Eve, ARTvision has officially eclipsed the $50,000 mark in cumulative earnings—nearly $46,000 of which has gone directly to Atlanta’s own Positive Impact. Over eight years we’ve raised a total of $50,110. And we’re very close to breaking the $10,000 mark this year (we’re currently at $9,135) for “The Promise of Peace,” so discounted pieces will be available and you can help us jump over that last hurdle!
Watch this space next week for discounted pieces and other posts. Meantime, thank you for making this event so successful year over year.
To see the entire breakdown, go to our Archive page.
