Benefit for Baghdad!

Art to Save the World's first event was a huge success! On June 18, 2010, we had over a hundred people in attendance, sold some fantastic local art, and had a lot of fun!

Over 40 artists participated by donating their artwork, and we were able to raise over $1000 toward helping the families and the free medical clinic they have in Baghdad.

I've put together some pictures and a special message from FRRME to you, thanking you for all your support - the links are below!

• Human Trafficking/Dawn's Place - Proceeds will aid this women's shelter that rescues women from sex trafficking, mainly in Philadelphia (yes, it's here too unfortunately) and around the world, and helps them to get on their feet
