Can Do Arts 2007

5th Annual Can Do Arts Sale & Social

Can Do Arts is a foundational piece to the Can Do 4:13 Scholarship Fund. Not only do we want to offer the Can Do Kids scholarships, but we also want them to experience the Arts. Finishing their artwork in school teaches them discipline, and it also gives them a way to express their creativity.  Lastly, it provides the Can Do Kids self esteem when they raise money for their own scholarship.

5th Annual Can Do Arts Sale Raised $4,000

Thanks to many members from the Peoria area community, over $4,000 was raised at the 5th annual Can Do Arts sale on Friday, May 30, 2008. The evening featured masterpieces from the 4th grade students of Irving Primary, and their artwork sold for an average of $100/piece. Not only are the Can Do Kids becoming better artists, but the community is truly responding to their talent and supporting the Can Do Scholarship Fund with their contributions.

 

"I continue to be in awe of the quality and talent of the young Irving artists!!! Please pass on my complements to those who help mold and guide that talent from the children." 

Cynthia B. Fischer,
Ed.D. Associate Superintendent
Peoria Public Schools

The Can Do Scholarship Fund's goal is to ultimately help provide skills to these Kids, so that they may become driving forces in their families and communities. Both events, the Walk and the Arts auction, will be repeated annually, as the two primary fund raisers for the Can Do 4:13 Scholarship Fund.
