The "Make Your Mark on the World" event will also be the conclusion of a two-part campaign that began in June with the creation of a one-of-a-kind 6x11 paneled mural of the world by respected graphic artist Joseph Kilrain. We collected more than 200 fingerprints and raised over $300 in funding through sponsors during an outdoor exhibition in Union Square. Dozens of interviews were also conducted for the Jubilee Project video (http://www.jubileeproject.org), debuting the night of the event. Furthermore, the 30 panels of the mural will be sold and auctioned, with the goal of raising $20,000 in sales and donations to support Givology children and projects around the world. The event will also feature the artwork of students from all Givology partner schools around the world, highlighting artwork from students at the Buen Pastor convent (http://buenpastor.weebly.com) in Guanajuato, Mexico.
All this in one special night. RSVP for the guest list now. Space is limited.
