Casual Day Funds Benefit Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona

June/July/August 2015

Employees participated in Dudley Ventures’ summer spirit program benefitting Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona by contributing $1/day for the privilege of dressing down during the hottest three months in Arizona. Donations were a total of $1400, which Dudley Ventures matched to raise $2800, and the shopping team used to pick out some great art supplies! Our donation included paints, canvases, markers, glue sticks, gift cards, gel pens and other neat art supplies. We were grateful to take a tour of the Free Arts facility and learn more about what the organization does. 

Free Arts is a nonprofit organization that offers therapy-based curriculum, a mentoring program, and a variety of art experiences, providing our community’s most vulnerable youth the chance to express themselves creatively, build self-confidence, and develop trusting relationships. Each year, Free Arts serves over 8,000 children at 100 plus social-service partner facilities free of charge. For more information, please visit: http://www.freeartsaz.org/
