 Sponsor Peter for the April 17th, 2010 Art-a-Thon! Dear Friends,
Thanks so much for stopping by. This page bears witness to my intention to participate in
the ArtSeed Art-a-thon Saturday April 17th. To raise funds for youth scholarships to this
year's ArtSeed Summer Intensive Art Camp I will be putting pen to paper for 10 hours or
until my fingers catch fire. To make this event successful, four things have to happen.
I need pens, paper, lighter fluid (it keeps my fingers nimble), and money. I can take care
of the first three, but I need stinking filthy rich philanthropists like you to unload some of
that green you've got stashed away under your mattresses for the apocalypse. You certainly
don't need me to tell you that the apocalypse is nigh upon us. So put on your horned
helmets, break out the bouillon cubes, and dig into that savings. You'll send a kid to art
camp who otherwise wouldn't get to go and you'll sleep better on a less lumpy mattress.
Just to sweeten the deal,I'll send you an original drawing made that day at the art-a-thon
in your honor. You can use it to fill space on your wall, wipe up spills, or line your rabbit
hutch. That's not all. All donations over $5 per hour will put me in your emotional debt for
approximately 9-12 months. You can use that leverage to exact favors from me or simply
enjoy the feeling of knowing I will feel slightly guilty and unworthy of your charity.
I truly appreciate the support!
Yours,
Peter
How it works:
Art-a-thoners volunteer their time on April 17th, 2010 to help raise funds for a cause they believe in:
Art Education! Funds raised will go to scholarships for youth to ArtSeed's 2010 Fine Arts Summer
Intensive and Artist Apprenticeship Program. Both programs connect youth with artists in a collaborative
studio setting with emphasis on long term one-to-one mentorships. You can sponsor your art-a-thoner
by pledging any dollar amount for each hour he/she can make art on April 17th (a maximum of 10
hours).
To sponsor a participant, email them directly (pmann@stanford.edu) and include:
1. your pledge amount per hour (example: $1 per hour) or flat rate pledges are also welcome.
2. your name
3. email address and/or phone number
4. mailing address.
Pledge for $1 per hour on up. No amount too small or too big! After the event, ArtSeed will send
you a letter to redeem the promised tax-deductable donation based on hours completed.
Thank you for making a difference!
