Sponsorships now available for Art for the Bridge Art Auction in Dallas, Texas!

Art for the Bridge, Dallas, Texas is currently seeking sponsorships for its annual art auction events to be held at the historical Dallas Women’s Museum on September 11 and 13, 2008.

You can help to save individual lives.                    

All Art for the Bridge events are 100% underwritten by individual and corporate sponsors so that every leveraged dollar raised goes directly to providing health care for breast cancer.  In 2007, Art for the Bridge raised and donated $100,000 to The Bridge Breast Network, linking uninsured women in Dallas, Texas to diagnostic and treatment services for breast cancer.  With each one of these dollars providing ten times its value in care, The Bridge Breast Network will be able to provide a total of $1 million in services. 

The impact of your partnership will be broadly visible. 

A publicity campaign is under way that will focus on expanding awareness of Art For The Bridge.  This campaign will also find artists and galleries, collectors, and curators with a breast cancer connection.  The art donated, along with their breast cancer stories, will be featured in a coffee table book that will be published in 2009.  The art will be auctioned at the Artists’ Reception and Preview Party on Thursday, September 11, 2008, and at the Black Tie Dinner and Art Auction on Saturday, September 13, 2008.  Both events will be held at the historical Dallas Women’s Museum, Dallas, Texas.

Please join us in the healing! 

Our goal is to fully underwrite the dinner and fine art auction so that all money that is raised can go to the foundation where it can do the most good.  There are several underwriting levels to choose from, each with different echelons of recognition and visibility.  Simply download and fill in the Underwriting Contract from our website www.artforthebridge.org or e-mail us at jwells@artforthebridge.org.

Art for the Bridge raises money for The Bridge Breast Network, a non-profit, which links uninsured and underserved individuals to life-saving breast cancer treatment and diagnosis.  In 2007, Art for the Bridge's Art Auction raised and donated $100,000 to The Bridge Breast Network.  A $100,000 donation to the Bridge will provide $1,000,000 of breast cancer services and treatments by combining financial contributions with an effective network of medial services and facility donations.
