Art for autism raises $13,000!
Children's artwork
A very special thank you to Centrepointe Orthodontics for sponsoring the 2nd annual Art for Autism held on Sunday, June 8th, 2014.
On this sunny Sunday afternoon, Dr. Len & Mrs. Maria Chumak graciously opened their beautiful home and welcomed guests who enjoyed wine and cheese while browsing through the extensive collection of artwork. Len & Maria also generously donated a three-night stay in their Mont Tremblant condo.
Art for Autism, which raises funds for QuickStart - Early Intervention for Autism, was well attended and raised over $13,000 dollars this year for a two-year total of $21,000!
Proceeds raised will help to support Ottawa-area children on the autism spectrum and their families.
The event was hugely successful thanks to the generous donations from artists and art collectors.
