Fundraising Opportunity for Children

Davis Studio has once again teamed up with two great organizations in our community, Vermont Children’s Trust Fund, & The Humane Society of Chittenden County, and is offering a unique way for your children to participate in some fun and fabulous fundraisers. We have been doing these fundraisers for several years and they have always been a highlight of the year. We encourage as many of you as possible to participate to make this another
successful year of fundraising for both of these great organizations that do so much good in our community. The painting classes are coming up quickly so sign up right away.

Here is how it works:
1. Sign up for one of the painting class sessions
described below.

2. Your child will paint 2 paintings. You choose one to keep and one to donate.

3. Donated paintings are auctioned off and 100 % of the auction proceeds go to the specified organization.

4. You are, of course, welcome to bid on your child’s donated painting if you wish to do so, but there is no obligation.
