The Spring Fundraiser March 7th at Belle Acres was a huge success! Thanks so much to everyone who was involved, and to those who were able to come out. Some of the folks that attended included relatives of Dean Barber, who brought along some of Dean's original artwork. Special thanks to Amy Gerdes Philipp for doing much of the heavy lifting organizing the event, Bud , and the Fidgets for providing an amazing performance.

We raised over $5,000 at the event, and we got some great exposure around Charlotte. The Charlotte Observer wrote up a fantastic article on Dean Barber and the event that you can read online, (just click on the photo below). Our Fundraising total is $12,500, and we will be giving our first Scholarship this Spring! Check back and we will post images of Student work from the portfolios of potential recipients.
