Dear Rush Philanthropic Supporters,
We’re writing to let you know that regretfully we’ve decided to postpone the Rush HeARTS luncheon. It was a tough decision but we’ve been presented with a few new, and very exciting fundraising opportunities that would be in the organization’s best interest not to pass up. We will still proceed with Rush HeARTS fundraising via our online auction partner CharityBuzz.com, and would appreciate your continued support of our efforts.
Please stay tuned for more luncheon info, as well as details on our Spring Art Auction at Christie’s (June 2013), Art For Life (7/27/13), and this fall, our Gold Rush Awards and Cocktail Party to benefit our galleries (September 2013).
Again, our sincerest thanks for your support and friendship, and apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
With gratitude,
Your friends at Rush Philanthropic
We are thrilled to have our WORD exhibition travel to Mount Vernon Public Library’s Rotunda during the months of February and March 2013, as this allows our creativity and educational undertakings to be shared with a broader audience. If you’re in the neighbor please stop by. Check out a few pictures from the installation.
Rush Kids and Teens recently went on a field trip to The Morgan Library & Museum where they used their drawing skills to capture a few images. The museum asked if they could post some of our photos and text on their Facebook page!
