You are invited to the Ninth Annual "For Kids' Sake" Art Show and Silent Auction at the Longbranch Coffeehouse this Saturday, December 6, from 4-6pm. This inspiring fundraising reception supports schools and orphanages in Bangladesh.

Currently on display and available for silent auction are 300 pieces of artwork from local children, Bengali children, and artists from around the world, as well as creative gift baskets. The baskets contain donations totaling $4,000 in goods and services from 60 local vendors. The bidding will close at the end of the reception at 6pm.

The reception will be fun-filled with delicious refreshments and live entertainment by local children. A special performance will be offered by local musician Chris Mathien. Art, gifts, food, music and the opportunity to support the future of Bengali children makes the reception an event not to be missed!
