Artist for Autism Fundraiser

[Alexander Kehyaian]

To my community, friends and family,

My name is Jimbob Pellitteri. I am a jewelry teacher, artist and musician. I currently work as the instructor at the Jewelry Arts & Design College (www. jadcollege. com) in Los Angeles, California. I have recently created an event called Artists For Autism. It will be held at Zero One Gallery (www. 01gallery. com) on June 14th, 2008 from 5pm-10pm.


There will be 50 pieces of art from a variety of artist of different ages and different mediums. Their art will be displayed and sold and ALL proceeds will be donated to the Anderson Center for Autism to support their art program. (http://www. andersoncenterforautism. org/)

I knew when I created this event that I would not be able to fulfill on it alone. I am writing you all with the intention of creating a team. I am requesting your support. I have promised to raise $3000 to cover the cost of the space and catering. I am playing a game to have that done by April 25th. It is a big game to play and I am requesting $25 dollars from each person who reads this email. I need 120 people to donate. In addition to that, I am asking for any other support you can provide me in fulfilling on this inspirational event.


The outcome of the event is that all people who participate are present to the miracle of art and humanity. My good friend and teammate Ned Buskirk has been generous to set up a paypal account to track the funding. The donation link is listed below. If you have questions before participating you may reach me by phone or email. If you feel more comfortable sending a check, please call or email me directly and I will provide you with my address. If you know artists, or resources that may forward this project, please contact me immediately. Please forward this email to EVERYONE you know would be interested in donating.
