Visual Artist and Arthritis Society "Joints in Motion" team member, Les Luxemberger is hosting an arts fundraiser on Saturday May 28th, from 6pm to 12am.

Help Les Luxemburger raise somefunds! www.lesluxemburger.com The event will take place at Studio Five Hair in Down town Newmarket (located at 184 Main St S, Newmarket, ON; tel: (905) 830-3483). ************************************************************************************** The Fundraising event will feature works by professional and emerging artists from all over the GTA including York Region, and will be an important opportunity for emerging and professional artists alike to display their work. Les is asking artists to donate one piece of original art or one to two high quality prints, which will be auctioned off through a silent auction and sale. Media will be present at the event thus, this will be a great forum for networking with other artists and people, and for gaining exposure for your artwork. The event will feature a professional DJ who skateboarded across Canada to raise money and awareness for various charitable organizations, as well as members of the Internally recognized band Tokyo Police Club. Finger food and appetizers will be provided free of charge. There will be a donation box set up and attendees are encouraged to pay what they can at the door. At the end of the night, the amount gathered will be counted and announced. IT IS BOUND TO BE A FUN-FILLED AND CREATIVE NIGHT! *********************************************************************** Background about my fundraising campaign: "I am participating in The Arthritis Society's Joints In Motion Training Team and will be joining hundreds of other participants on a multiple day trek to raise money and awareness with respect to Arthritis treatments, management and programs. The Arthritis Foundation is a well respected organization in Canada - in fact it is the only National not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping the 4.5 million Canadians suffering with Arthritis. I am doing this in honour of my father, mother, my Aunt (who suffers from Lupus, a type of arthritis) and some friends and colleagues of mine who suffer from arthritis. March is Juvenile Arthritis Month to raise awareness, research and treatments for the 1 in 10 children in Canada who are dealing with Juvenile Arthritis." Secure online donations can be made at my Arthritis Society Fundraising home page, or by entering my name in the "Support a Joints in Motion participant" page: https://arthritis.akaraisin.com/Common/Participant/Search.aspx?seid=2152... The funds raised will support The Arthritis Society's research and education programs and benefit many of the nearly 4.5 million Canadians with arthritis.
