Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009!

Submitted by on February 18, 2009 – 12:00 amNo Comment

In the springtime last year, my son Declan had this amazing idea. He decided that, instead of a standard lemonade stand, he wanted to have an Art Sale in the backyard. When I posted about it, friends contributed ideas and we had an ONLINE version that raised nearly $800 for environmental causes – in just a few weeks.

This year, we are trying to spread the word early so people have plenty of time to participate!

Whadya say? Wanna play?

This year, the beneficiary will be The Nature Conservancy. It is their mission to “preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.” Kinda perfect for Earth Day, right?

All the details are on a post over at my personal blog, Greeblemonkey. But you don’t have to be a blogger to participate, or be from Denver even.

Come one, come all! Let’s rock Earth Day!
