and will be held in the Waterbury Building at ishbudesign Studio in Northeast Minneapolis. Proceeds from this event will benefit local charities including The ALS Association of Minnesota, the Piper Breast Center at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Pet Project Rescue, Twin Cities Pet Rescue, The Caring Tree, and Isis Rising. These are all organizations whose programs ishbudesign and participating art
ists feel are deserving of attention. At the center of the event are limited edition screen print posters; one benefiting each charity. Ishbudesign will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the poster sales back to the respective charities for specific programs. In 2011, money was raised for three organizations: The ALS Association of Minnesota, the Piper Breast Center at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and Pet Project Rescue. Money directed to The ALS Association of Minnesota was donated to the Durable Medical Equipment Loan Pool, a program that provides free medical equipment to persons with ALS, in need. Money directed to the Piper Breast Center was donated to the Piper Breast Center Patient Assistance Fund, a program that provides financial assistance to cancer patients who are unable to pay day-to-day expenses on top of their medical treatment. Money directed to Pet Project Rescue was donated to the Lukas Project, an end-of-life hospice program that will provide homes to dogs and cats who are terminally ill. In 2012, money raised will be donated to three additional organizations; The Caring Tree, Twin Cities Pet Rescue, and Isis Rising.
