Wanna Feel Good, Today?

...Or maybe, just a little humble... Yesterday, I spied a post by artist Anne Harwell over at Annechovie about her friend, Carolyn Rubenstein. Carolyn is a Harvard grad who launched Carolyn's Compassionate Children when she was just 14 years old (how's that for being a high-achiever?!)
CCC, is a non-profit organization that raises money for young cancer survivors to promote access to college education . You can imagine that, after battling cancer - and the ensuing medical expenses, many families have no sort of "college fund." One of the ways CCC helps cancer survivors attend college is through it's annual college scholarship program that recognizes survivors who demonstrate leadership, commitment to education, and betterment of the community.
This year, to celebrate CCC's ten-year anniversary, the organization is hosting an Artist's Auction on Ebay to raise money for the scholarship program. Anne is one of the many artists selected by CCC to contribute a piece of original art to the auction. If you are in the market for a handmade original, why not support a great cause while you're at it?
Here's the link to the auction page - if you can't pick up a painting, jewelry, or ceramic you can always make a budget-friendly donation (be sure to keep your receipt for next year's itemized deductions! ;)
Here's a sampling of some of the artists participating
