Time for Art Recap

Written by United Way Team | Apr 4, 2016 8:38:34 PM

This year’s Time for Art was a huge success! Thank you to all of the local artists who donated their pieces, committee members who helped organize the event, and everyone who showed up at the National Czech & Slovak Museum this past Friday for a fun night dedicated to volunteerism.

Together, attendees pledged 3,165 total volunteer hours during the silent art auction. Auction winners must complete their hours in one year in order to pick up the artwork. These hours will account for nearly $73,000 that will come back to our community through helping others.

This photograph on canvas by Kory Bassett went for 500 volunteer hours!

By volunteering, you make the place we live, work, and play better for everyone. Find local volunteer opportunities on our Volunteer Now site.
