Evan Lightner' artwork was the high seller of the evening, going for $1000 to Christian Winter! Thank you Evan and Christian!
To kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month, Designbox teamed together with internationally acclaimed Modart to bring a multi-artist collaborative of painted busts. The busts are created by concerned women, painted by local artists and were auctioned at the October 3 Event. All proceeds benefit Breast Cancer charities.
Our primary goals for the event were Awareness, Dialog, and Fundraising. The auction was a complete success, raising over $10,000, with an estimated 500 people attending. Various stories on television news and in local newspapers helped to further the success of those goals. Thank you to all those who participated in any way. Your generosity will go to help someone touched by this disease.
