Where do the proceeds of the auction go to?
The PANDORA’s Box Art Auction Project has been a project in the making now for over two years. There was always something else that we need to attend to and we would end up putting the project in the back burner. So this year because of the conference being in January we saw the opportunity to announce it during the conference. We played with the words –”PANDORA’s Box” and added the “Art Auction Project.” It is a fund raiser with a flair for the arts and creativity, but it also creates awareness of the plight of CFS/FM individuals. We are asking artist to donate works of art that depicts hope and or has a butterfly in the piece. We accept works of any media. During the month of May 2007 we will have hopefully sold every art piece donated to us. During the patient conference we will have one daily door prize. A grand prize raffles of an airline ticket with a companion, donated by AirTran Airways valued at $500 each to be used anywhere AirTran Airways flies. The raffle prize is only $5.
