$5,000 Goal Reached

Thanks to your donations I have reached my $5K fundraising goal before December 31st.

Three Mayorga cards are still available for sale, along with three artworks. The Mabel’s Labels fundraiser will also remain active until January 15th, 2008. Any of these purchases will benefit the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.

I feel very lucky to know such generous people. Happy Holidays!

Only $175 to go!

Good news…after all of your generous donations I only need to raise $175 more to meet my $5K goal. You can buy one of the three remaining artworks (and take a tax deduction), buy a Mayorga card, buy Mabel’s Labels or just make a donation. Thanks for your support. Please contact me if you’d like to buy one of the photographs for sale.

The results are in…

The art auction and raffle was a big success. I’m waiting for information on a few pending donations, but as of today I am only $250 short of the $5K goal. Thanks to all who participated.

Three pictures are still available for sale. If you are interested, please contact me for details.

A few Mayorga cards are still available for sale, and you can order Mabel’s Labels until January 15th, so keep those orders coming!
