Abby and the Orange Table Welcome CN Children and Host Fundraiser
Published Tuesday, 15 November, 2011 by Holly Prior. Categories: Community Events.
For Abby,
combining her love of kids and art was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
When she was given the chance to showcase artists at the Orange Table in
Scottsdale, she knew she wanted to try and get the children of Crisis Nursery
involved.Abby's involvement with Crisis Nursery began in 2010 after volunteering at the Botanical Gardens Pumpkin Festival, where we were took several of the children from the Children's Shelter. She met members of our staff and decided she wanted to do something more fulfilling - being part of changing the lives of Arizona children. She spent many of her volunteering hours with the pre-schoolers at FACES Early Head Start.
While at the
Orange Table, she mentioned Crisis Nursery to the general manager, and together
they decided to do a fundraising event for our programs. November 17th
from 6:30-9:00pm the Orange 35 paintings made by children at our Children's Shelter
will be offered up for a minimum of $20, with additional donations accepted.
The event will feature a raffle, live music, win, appetizers and more. A
minimum donation is required to attend.
"Crisis Nursery is an awesome place, and I want proceeds to go to the children for the holidays. It's our Arizona kids, and I want people to care and for the kids to have a great holiday," Abby said. Thank you to Abby and the Orange Table for hosting what was an incredibly fun activity for the kids to be part of, and for your time and efforts!
