The Bachelor Gives Back
On Saturday, February 25th, a very excited & energetic group of volunteers from ABC's The Bachelor helped make our Art Rocks themed Free Arts Day a wonderful experience for the children at our partner agency, Watts/ Willowbrook Boys & Girls Club. The Bachelorettes, along with a couple of Bachelors from a past season, weren't afraid to jump right in and work with the kids at the facepaint, dream box & friendship jewelry project stations. The children were smiling ear to ear as they created memorable keepsakes- and even painting our volunteers' faces by the end of the day!
 
A big THANK YOU to The Bachelor for making this day so special!

Spring Reading
Please join Free Arts March 22nd - 24th
for a fundraiser at
Barnes & Noble. The Marina del Rey location - 13400 Maxella - will donate a portion of all merchandise sales to our agency, as long as you mention our name on those days. Can't make it in person but still want to participate? Your phone and internet orders count, too! Just use the code 10664167 when ordering from their website or calling (310) 306-3213.
March is a great time to get a head start on summer reading or to buy gifts. Remember, Barnes & Noble sells much more than books; they have wide selection of electronics, arts & crafts supplies, and gifts for all. We hope to count you in on this great fundraiser!

Free Arts for Abused Children inspires hope in the lives of abused, homeless and at-risk children through innovative arts programs and positive interactions with caring adult volunteers. We know that artistic expression builds self-confidence and self-esteem and that is why the philosophy behind all Free Arts programs is simply that "Art Heals!" |
