About the Notecard Campaign:
As a tribute to Ben’s birthday after his passing, his family hosted an Art Show in which his young friends and family members produced paintings with the theme “Ben.” The kids were instructed to simply paint something that makes you think of Ben. The results were amazing.
The young artists did a beautiful job creating works of art that represented the special place that Ben had in their lives. During the Art Show, each artist presented their painting and spoke about the stories behind the images they created. The evening was very uplifting and energizing for everyone in attendance.
For several weeks following the Art Show, the paintings were on display at local merchants and generated strong interest and inquiries for purchase of the paintings. Based on the public’s response, Ben’s family decided to convert the paintings into individual note cards that could be sold to benefit the veterinary scholarship fund in Ben’s name.
Last summer, the note cards went on sale in our community and we were amazed at the success (and fun) Ben's buddies had helping his foundation. In January, his friends were on-hand as the Morris Animal Foundation presented Ben's Fund a certificate of appreciation for their efforts and for the funding of our 2008 student scholarship awards.
The Note Card project, now in its 2nd year, has been a very rewarding and inspiring effort and we look forward to even more success through the introduction of the 2009 collection which can be purchased through this website at donate.bensfund.org
100% of the proceeds from the sales are directed to Ben’s Fund and are tax deductible.
