$26,874

That's how much we were able to raise during our HeART HAITI auction.  Doctors without Borders    lists a statistic that for every $5500  has enough funds for an emergency health kit to care for 10,000 displaced people for three months.  That means that we raised enough money for 50,000 emergency medical kits- INCREDIBLE!  Thank you to everyone who helped with this fundraiser,  to the  artists who donated such amazing work, the collectors who came and purchased, to our star  curators HeART ART  ladies Celeste Holt Walters  and Audrie Lawrence.  Thank you to Agatha Maciejewski of AGMAC and Sally Berman of Run Red Creative - we never would have been able to do this without you!  Thank you to Jim from Benefit Events for all of the work and support with the auction site to make this possible.  To Everyone at APERTURE for your help and support.  To Josephine for being so patient with us while we were packing all of the artwork.  To my wife Sascha for coming up with the idea. To David Hutchinson for writing the rolling projection  script.  Thanks to ARC rentals for supplying the laptops.  To Mandy at Mirrorball for getting us sponsored by Perrier, to WAGMAG for the Pernod And to all of the volunteers that spent so many hours  helping  with this!
