Hi
John,
BCAction’s favorite art event – Drawing the Connections – is coming up Tuesday, June 13!

We’ll come together at our Virtual Community Gathering on that date, and we’ll have available our curated collection of values-aligned art at our art auction, opening next week, June 8th!

Here are some of my personal staff picks that will be available starting next week – each submitted to the auction by BCAction staff members themselves!

Not only are my team members breast cancer activists – they are each talented artists! See the pieces below and [link removed] for the virtual event today.

BCAction’s Development and Fundraising Assistant Katy Simon has donated her handcrafted "Red Rocks Necklace," a quartz, chain, and bead necklace inspired by the Arizona desert.

Katy is a crafter and writer from Phoenix, Arizona. She is inspired by the red mountains that surrounded her while growing up, and by the beauty of the desert. She loves making art for her loved ones and organizing art exchanges for fellow crafters. She believes in the healing power of creating and that it is the best way to connect with ourselves and others.
