Art Auction to Benefit AMDA Foundation
The AMDA Foundation will hold its first art auction on March 17,
2006 from 9pm-11pm at the 2006 AMDA annual symposium. The auction will
feature artwork from residents of long term care facilities from around
the country.
The Foundation expects to have several paintings, ceramics and other
works of art to auction off during this inaugural event. The event will
also showcase works from AMDA member Jeffery Levine, MD, who is
donating a series of four photographs from his collection. One of the
photographs, "Visiting Sister," is shown at right.
In addition the Foundation is soliciting art from celebrities. Radio
and television personality Shadoe Stevens has already donated a piece
of his artwork to the Foundation. Other celebrities, including Tony
Bennett, Sally Struthers and Barbara Carrera have been invited to
contribute.
The Foundation has also requested the assistance of chapter members
to donate art from their respective facilities to the art auction. If
you are interested in donating or know of a facility that would like to
donate, please contact Chris Danihel at (410) 992-3134 or at cdanihel@amda.com as soon as possible.
The cost of the event is $25.00 per person. The event will feature
live entertainment and a dessert reception. Proceeds from the event
will go to support the Foundation and its research studies.
