Description
Hello! SoulQuench is in the planning process of our 11th annual fundraising auction. As a fund raising effort for 2015 our team is planning a live and basket auction on April 25. The proceeds from this year's auction will be benefiting a couple different groups. The primary recipient will be a team of teens on a trip to the Dominican Republic to meet needs in communities around the D.R.

This year, SoulQuench is giving a portion of the funds raised to Art Inspired Academy. Art Inspired Academy is a creative arts project. The goal of Art Inspired Academy is to provide an inclusive experience for individuals with and without disabilities to participate in creative arts programming including theater, dance, music and art. Participants will express themselves through artistic experiences while working on individualized goals to improve communication, motor skills, social skills, self control and confidence. In its first year, AIA has completed three musical theatre productions with the latest being at Clara Thompson Hall at Drury University. We are always seeking volunteers to help express creativity through the arts! Check them out on Facebook or at Artinspiriedacademy.org.

This basket and live auction that we are planning will be a community wide event. We will be auctioning off product and prepared baskets with a variety of items or services and vacation packages included, as well as larger items to be auctioned during a live auction. A small product or gift certificate donation would not only be a help to us, but an inexpensive and great marketing opportunity for you.

SoulQuench does have non-profit 501 (c)(3) status. We will provide you with written proof of your donation upon request. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your generosity.
