The Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009
Published 02.03.2009 | | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)
Calling all kids for donating, bidding and general do-gooding!
Enter the Kid Art Auction for Earth Day 2009.
Encourage your child to donate his artwork, and/or bid on another child's artwork. All proceeds benefit The Nature Conservancy whose mission is to "preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive."
This fundraiser is organized by mom bloggers Aimee of Greeblemonkey and Amy of Inherent Passion. But the brains behind the whole thing is Aimee's son Declan, who started it all last year when he asked hold an art sale in their backyard, which then migrated online and wound up raising nearly $800 for environmental causes. Sweeeet!
The Kid Art Auction runs through Earth Day, which is April 22. That leaves plenty of time to get involved.

About this Column
The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
