FINAL NUMBERS ARE IN!!!

13 days to plan and host an event

225+ art/service donations

But for the big numbers….. drum roll

We raised $17,000!!! Exactly (thanks to a couple final donations to make this easier)

If you remember, we have a wonderfully generous donor who is MATCHING what we raised.

That means we raised $34,000 for Neighborhood House!!

This doesn’t include the countless bags of non perishables we collected for their food shelf.

Here we thought putting bring a non perishable donation would encourage you to bring a can or two of food. But no. You all brought bags and bags filled to the brim with delicious foods.

It will take multiple cars to deliver! Our hearts are overflowing.

We would not have been able to do this without everyone’s efforts to reach out to their networks. The true reason this was possible was because of our artist communities trusting us and donating their talents for this cause. Words cannot truly do our gratitude justice.

We want to give a HUGE shout out to St.Paul Brewing for supplying all the food! The owner Rob, hand delivered everything. And to Mon Petite Cheri for supplying all the delicious cookies!

To Can Can Wonderland, Dark Horse, Crowbar, Voliere, and Eclective Collective, and Gamut Gallery for all their silent auction donations.

Thank you to Henjy rentals for donating tables for the event.

Blackheart Studio, thank you for hosting this!

Lastly, to our group of volunteers who truly took this event off the ground. We over came so many obstacles and learned so much along the way.

Thank you for picking us up and pushing us through the hard moments. This event truly wouldn’t have been as successful as it was without you.

$34,000 going directly to Neighborhood House to help support our immigrant and refugee community members.

We hope our event showed you there is still so much hope out in the world. When we come together we can do amazing things.

Thank you everyone. We love you all!

This doesn’t mean it has to end here! Please continue to donate to your local charities no matter where you live!
