On March 13, 2013, Help Me Grow Orange County brought together friends, families and colleagues to increase awareness of Help Me Grow while raising funds for ongoing operations at the first annual “Art of Giving” art and silent auction in Santa Ana, California. Click above to see the beautiful event invitation.
Local artists shared their artwork and over 20 local businesses provided donations for the silent auction items, all contributing to the success of this event.   In addition, the children’s artwork provided by 10 different locations was inspiring and reminded us all of the importance of art in the lives of young children and families.
