Well-known art quilter Virginia Spiegel has once again organized “The 100 Fundraiser to Fight Cancer” to be held on February 4, 2015. The idea is unique and pretty simple.
Virginia invited 100 artists to make a piece to donate to the fundraiser. The first 100 people to donate $100 each will be sent one of these pieces, chosen at random. The goal is to raise $10,000 in one day. Pretty cool idea. Here is how it works:
1 Day – 100 Artists – 100 Patrons – $10,000Wednesday, February 4, 2015
Opens 10 a.m. Central
Opens 10 a.m. Central
1. On February 4, the first 100 people to contact Virginia@VirginiaSpiegel.com beginning at 10 a.m. Central will be given a link to donate $100 by credit card directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause. (Please note your donation to the ACS will be credited through the Forest Lake Area Relay For Life.)
2. Each donor will receive an artwork from one of the 100 generous and talented artists listed below. Assignments of artwork will be made using a random number generator. Artwork may appear on artists’ websites or other social media before the event. See also our Pinterest board.
3. The artwork may be any size as long as the minimum retail value is $100. Artwork smaller than 8″x10″ will be mounted to 8″x10″ or 9″x9″. The artwork will contain fiber and may or may not be stitched. The artwork may or may not be made specifically for this event.
3. Each artist will receive her/his patron’s e-mail address to arrange shipping. Artwork will be shipped directly from the artist. Please note this is an international roster of artists. Please thank the artist for not only donating the artwork, but also shipping it to you.
4. Each artist would love to receive a low res photo of the artwork in situ from the new owner. This is not required, but the best photos may be shared on-line after the event.

Special Note: The goal of $10,000 will make Fiberart For A Cause’s donations to the American Cancer Society a nice even one-quarter of a million dollars over the years and FFAC will be happily retired. Virginia deserves a huge thumbs up for all her efforts to raise so much for such a good cause!
