Charity Buzz for Drawing Dreams - Venice Prizes

Bauers Hotel Terrace

(Venice, Italy) Drawing Dreams Foundation is my favorite non-profit organization. It brings smiles and creativity to kids who are hospitalized. Here is what they're about:

Bug by Isabeau, age 8, Chicago, Illinois

"Drawing Dreams is a three-year old Berkeley, California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that donates art supplies to hospitalized children through children's hospitals' Artists-in-Residence and Child Life programs.

Talented children and more than 1400 professional artists from 72 countries support Drawing Dreams. You can see their work in website's Children-Helping-Children and Artists-Helping-Children galleries.

Our goal is to be able to maintain a sustainable supply line to the following 37 children's hospitals and other children's hospitals across the country, and to inspire artists everywhere to donate their talent and time at local children's hospitals."

Now, with the miracle of globalization, you can support this charity in Berkeley, California plus score a great deal in Venice, Italy. Thanks to the generosity of Francesca Bortolotto Possati; CEO of the Bauers, and Raffaele Alajmo of the renown Alajmo restaurateur family, yesterday Charity Buzz went live with an online auction featuring a two-night stay at one of the Bauers properties here in Venice, plus lunch at the Quadri Restaurant in Piazza San Marco.

The donations are worth a total of $2,900. Right now the opening bid is at $500.

[UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 - Bid at $1,150. Thank you! Keep it going!]
