Hope through art auction details 

Thank you for your interest in our auction. For those that aren't familiar with Portland DonorFest or Fighting Chance/Donors Matter, feel free to browse the rest of the website to learn more. In short, we focus on blood and organ donation. Both awareness of the need and importance, and appreciation for those that selflessly give others life with their gifts of time. Donors give those needing blood or an organ hope and a fighting chance....Donors Matter!

In the summer/fall, the non-profit organization Fighting Chance/Donors Matter holds an annual event called Portland DonorFest. It is a time of awareness, appreciation, and celebration of life. This year we are holding the event at the American Red Cross Donation Center in Portland and focusing the event on a blood drive. During the blood drive we will have photo opportunities with Star Wars Oregon (a costuming group that attends charity-based events), door prizes, fundraisers, and we will kick off our Hope Through Art auction. That's where talented folks like you come in! We want an opportunity for you to display a piece of your artwork, help raise money for the American Red Cross, and win some prizes along the way. Below are the basic details - feel free to email Judy if you have questions regarding the contest, or anything else. We can't wait to meet you and see your amazing work! 

BASIC AUCTION GUIDELINES:
