First Annual Charity Event Teams Up With Artistic Performers
Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 17, 2006
First Annual Charity, Concert and Fine Art Event. A charitable artistic performance presented by Rolando Diaz of VERITA ART and Patrice Pike made the highlight of the social event. It was a special occasion for The Grace Foundation that proved its spirit with admirable appreciation.
The event, held at the One World Theatre on Saturday February the 4th, was by all accounts a fabulous turnout. With VERITA ART’S Cuban-American fine artist Rolando Diaz and singing sensation Patrice Pike International Singer/Song writer and her band, the Grace Foundation created the atmosphere of artistic charity. It was an event filled with an array of collaborated music, generous hearts, and artistic talent. Rolando Diaz painted an original oil on canvas depicting the story of ‘Grace’ and her life as Patrice and her band performed for the audience. Following the concert Diaz’s painting was positioned as the final live auction item. Many donations were given to make the live and silent auction an extraordinary success.
Because of the dedication and support received, the first annual charity event was a success.
Founders Todd Young and Patrice Pike’s mission is to promote and create an awareness of the basic needs of every human person on this planet, to make a difference in the lives of many, one individual at a time.
The Grace Foundation is aimed at selecting individuals whose lives have been adversely affected by Abuse, Parental Substance Abuse, and Poverty. These young people have felt that leaving home was safer than staying, causing many to be runaways, unable to stay in school, maintain their health and well being, make a living wage and often due to those choices, unable to contribute to society in a positive manner.
This foundation will select young individuals who have demonstrated their desire to leave the streets in order to begin cultivating a more whole and fulfilling life. From enrolling in school, completing drug and alcohol rehabilitation, facilitating entrepreneurial ideas to simply integrating spirit, and body and mind wellness, the Grace Foundation will serve those who have survived the homeless journey by helping them to enrich their lives, and the lives of others.
The Grace Foundation will become a voice and mentor for these individuals, in hopes that they too, may give what they have received. This foundation is intent on recruiting successful candidates, as well as dedicated donors.
