A sketchbook, a Saturday, and a $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] walked into our Saturday open studio holding a sketchbook full of drawings. She asked if there was a class she could join.
We want a seat ready for her, and for 19 other kids. On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for a full 8-week spring session of free art classes for 20 kids. That's $50 per child for supplies and teaching artist time.
Early gifts help us start strong. If you'd like to be one of the first, you can give here: [Donation link]
Thank you for being part of this studio.
