About Painting for Miracles

Each Fall, a very special project takes place in the arts community to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network. Artists have the opportunity to return to their non-techy “roots” by picking up a paintbrush, and a great time is had by all. This year, we want YOU - artists and non-artists alike - to be involved in continuing the successful project we call Painting for Miracles. This year is the 4th Annual.

Painting for Miracles to benefit Children’s Miracle Network at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. In 2007, we raised $13,000 to benefit this worthwhile charity. Your participation directly benefits the sick and injured children of our community, as UC Davis Children’s Hospital provides state-of-the-art medical care, life saving research and preventative education for children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

At Painting for Miracles, we share stories from The Children’s Miracle Network with local artists who interpret their thoughts through art. The artists all paint (or undertake some other art form, of the artists choice) together at ZAP Creative Group. 304 N 12th Street in Sacramento. The 2009 paint weekend runs from September 11th - 13th, beginning on Friday afternoon and ending whenever you’re done on Sunday. We provide food and drinks to keep those creative minds flowing as well as the paint and boards!

Each artist has a sponsor. As a sponsor you are welcome to come down and watch the
painting, if you’d like. And if you have an artist who you’d like to sponsor, that’s great too. Sponsors are allowed to keep their painting or donate it back into the silent auction, held two weeks after paint days. The show and auction will be held on September 20th.
To add to the fun at the show and auction, we have a band, food available for purchase
(sponsors and artists eat free), wine, beer, soda and as much popcorn as you’d like!

As a community sponsor, you’ll be associated with a first class organization and a premiere charity. Every year, Children’s Miracle Network hospitals treat 17 million children for every disease and injury imaginable. Children’s Miracle Network hospitals impact the lives of more children than any other children’s organization in the world. UC Davis Children’s Hospital is committed to providing the best care for children when they need it. This year’s campaign will be fun and worthwhile as we proceed to invest our efforts to reach our goal of $20,000.

Thank you for your consideration and prompt attention. Let’s make miracles happen in our community!
