Breanna’s Gift Board of Directors Combines Art with Playing Nice in the Sandbox

Board of Directors, Breanna's Star - March 5, 2018

Breanna’s Gift Board of Directors and Program Coordinator, Kim Gordon attended a Sandcasting Workshop at FOCI, center for glass arts. This was a combination of fun, creativity and new HOT experiences. Everyone is always good at playing nice in the sand box, so the small boxes of sand were no challenge for our group. Each class member made 2 castings with only one requirement. One of the two pieces must be donated to the Breanna’s Star event on April 28. That is the most difficult part of the experience. Which one will be donated and which one will they keep. However, if it’s too hard to decide, bidding on your own piece at the event is always an option!

Breanna’s Star is Shining Brightly!

Board of Directors, Breanna's Star - May 15, 2017

Breanna’s Star event was both fun and very successful. After expenses, you helped us raise $53,000. We are speechless and thank you so much for your generosity and continued support of our program.

We are Humbled!

Board of Directors, Breanna’s Gift Helpers, Community - August 29, 2016

Breanna’s Gift was the charity partner at the Faffcon “unconference” held in Minneapolis.This group of voice over professionals from all over the world comes together each year at a different location. Our board president was present to receive the heart felt donations that we made to our organization during the 3 day event. And in the end, an incredible $8,000 was raised for Breanna’s gift. We are humbled and rendered completely speechless by the more than generous support we received from the Faffcon group. As voice over professionals, we understand that being rendered speechless would not be a good thing. But for us it has been the very opposite. The only word we could find to express ourselves was WOW! and WOW! THANK YOU FAFFCON.

And the Sidewalk Comes to Us

Board of Directors, Breanna's Gift Classes - July 22, 2016

When it’s too hot to go outdoors for sidewalk art, Breanna’s Gift teacher Kim brings the sidewalk inside. The walk was about 20 feet long when we started and by the time everyone was finished, it was full of fun drawings and got another 6 feet longer. Board of Directors Vice President, Billy, helped the kids execute some ideas, encouraged them to think and draw big. He was king of the chalk.

Is it all work and no play?

Board of Directors, Breanna's Gift Classes - June 10, 2016

Some might say that serving on a board of directors is all work and no play. Breanna’s Gift can prove otherwise, as our board president spent some time volunteering at our art and dance classes. He helped with a printmaking project and showed us that he had a few secret moves. Who knew? Thanks Rick!

Our Board of Directors Getting Involved

Board of Directors, Breanna's Gift Classes - March 5, 2016

We are so honored to have a very hard working board of directors. Everyone on our board takes an active role in a variety of Breanna’s Gift needs, from helping Breanna’s Gift to become better known in the community to volunteering with our teachers and getting a chance to spend some time with the children. It’s a chance to see our program close up and personal and the kids love it.
