The Promise Chair Affair

To my Friends and Family:

I have partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a non-profit organization, to create an art project to support women who are battling breast cancer. It is called "The Promise Chair Affair." The details of the project are listed below. 

I will be hosting a group of 10 women, who are battling breast cancer,  once a week for 5 consecutive weeks: April 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29. We will be meeting in the Susan G. Komen offices located at: 1350 Orange Ave, Suite 260 Winter Park, FL 32789. I will be purchasing plain wooden chairs, paints, brushes and supplies, for these women to create a themed chair of their choice. Each week they will add a little bit more to their chair in hopes that after 5 weeks they will have created a masterpiece all their own. I am hopeful to have an artist present to help with creative ideas, artistic assistance, and implementation . 

After the projects are completed, we will host a voice auction in which we will spotlight each woman, give her an opportunity to share her story and describe her work of art! Each piece will then be auctioned off and all of the proceeds will go directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The event is planned for Wednesday May, 20th. It will be a classy evening of wine, hors d'oeuvres, music, silent auction, and of course the main event will be the voice auction involving our 10 "artists."

This is a great opportunity to meet some incredible women! This project allows these women one night a week to not think about cancer, to focus their attention, energy, and strength on something beautiful, and in the end have created something from nothing!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please let me know if you

With hope and determination,
