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.
Each summer, the note cards go on sale in our community and we are amazed at the success (and fun) Ben's buddies have helping his foundation. In January, friends and family are on-hand as the Morris Animal Foundation presents Ben's Fund a certificate of appreciation for their efforts in funding our student scholarship awards.
The Note Card project, now in its 4th year, has been a very rewarding and inspiring effort and we look forward to even more success through the introduction of the 2011 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.
