ArtWanted.com Charity Event Results

We would like to thank all those that contributed to our Charity Event this year. We were able to collect $1,086.16 in donations from many of our members. 100% of the money collected will be given to the 'Save the Children' organization within the next few weeks.

If you would still like to donate, you can make your donations directly on the Save the Children website.

More information about this great organization can be found at: www.SavetheChildren.org

Thanks!

lol... I guess it's my morning for wondering..:-)

I'm now wondering why it's going to take a "few weeks" to pass on this money??????

Cynthia Adams 03 Mar 2008

I agree Terry, WHY WAIT...I'ts obvious there will be no more coming in...just get this money gone...weve waited long enough AW...SEND the money NOW.!! Gawd Help US!!

Laura Smith 03 Mar 2008

I can't say for sure but I suspect AW only cuts checks once a month? Thats my guess anyway.


ArtWanted.com Staff 03 Mar 2008

We do have a standard process for cutting checks, but it sounds like it's important to a few of you to get it out ASAP. We will make sure that we make an exception and process the check today for the charity event.

AW...just a note of thanks for all the good that you do here. Please don't judge all of the artists on this site because of the few "nitpickers". They are everywhere, at every turn, mixed in with all the rest. So please just bear with us, keeping in mind that most of us ARE peace makers, and truly grateful for opportunities like these.

Terry Bassett 03 Mar 2008

Thanks AW... and YES, it is important to put this donated money into good use at the earliest possible time.. kids around the world are at deaths door for the need of it.

BTW, ArtWanted.com Print Demo... if it takes a bit of nit-picking to get that money to where it's urgently needed, then so be it.

Even though the outcome was a bit disappointing, thank you for running the charity drive, AW.

Terry Harris 03 Mar 2008

Thanks AW for the Charity Event! We did raise a good amount for the number of contributors. Save the Children knows how to really get the most out of each dollar, so it really will feed more than you think.

Many of us are still hoping to be able to expand & or continue more such events in the future. Artists that participated, be proud of what we got done. More that did not give here did go and donate to charities as well. Some will donate art to local charities as well, so every bit of this effort was worth it.

Yes it was Minny. I think if the negitivy had been kept out of the charity ,we would have been able to do so much more. Thank you to all that believed in this Charity......You guys and gals Rock.

We are happy to report that we received a letter back from the 'Save the Children' organization in response to the donations given by our members. Below is a link to a PDF file of that letter. Thanks again for all those that participated in the charity event this year.

Cynthia Adams 09 May 2008

Thankyou AW for this proof...not that it was needed, by me or any of the others I believe! So to the minority the Sceptics and Scandalmongers who thrive on aggro and are positively Negative & Suspicious... PROOF IN BLACK AND WHITE. I for one was proud to give the little I did for this worthy cause,and I am also pleased thet they didn't divulge how much was donated by WHOM..that's Our Business!!!!!!!! Well done and thanks for this AW and well done to all the donors too. Have a great weekend everyone.

joan warburton 09 May 2008

Thanks AW. Cynthia could not have said it better.
