I attended The Vagina Monologues at Carleton College and was inspired to do something. I became aware of the HOPE Center through a student at Carleton. I wanted to act on my inspiration to do something, so I thought helping to raise money for the HOPE Center would be a good thing to do. I had already scheduled an art show at Faribault Harley-Davidson, and so had a platform to work from. The opening night/artist reception will be a fundraiser for the HOPE Center. I am donating two original works, proceeds from those to go to HOPE. I will also donate half of my sales made that night and half of all sales on my website (orders over $20). I am aware that some people will not be able to make it that night but would still like to donate, so you can donate below. Your donation will be put to work to help victims of violence in Rice County.
