Have you wondered what exciting opportunities will lead us into the new year? We Care Arts has developed an exciting relationship with Bockrath
Flooring and Rugs! For the second year, the Bockrath Cares Design Challenge has
asked our clients to design rugs. Then Bockrath selects their favorite and
creates it. The rug will be auctioned off at our Spring Auction event on March
10, 2017.
Our last year’s winner of the initial Bockrath Cares
Design Challenge was Nicholas Tapley, a student from Stebbins High School. He
was very thrilled that his rug design won the contest, and Bockrath personally made
him a slightly smaller rug with his design, which delighted him. When presented
with the rug, he said, “I am on the top of the earth!” His parents were so
happy and grateful and the whole experience made the people from Bockrath cry!
This year’s winner is a student of We Care Arts who
attends Stivers High School. (We’re not
saying who since we will surprise the lucky winner with the announcement and
rug presentation at a later date, but before the Spring Auction). The rug is
still moving from the initial design to a computer model ready to be
manufactured, and we can’t wait to see it! It is such a thrill for our students
to be singled out for their creativity and being rewarded for their hard work!
Our 25th annual We Care Arts’ Spring Auction
is on Friday March 10 at the Presidential Banquet Center in Kettering. The
fun-filled evening will feature a terrific dinner, and a silent auction with
dozens of fabulous gift baskets from which to choose. This year’s live auction
will include a chance to bid on a beautiful rug, designed by WCA high school
client and created by Bockrath Carpets, a get-a-way vacation, and much more!
Last year, the auction raised over $60,000, which helped over 1,300 adults and
children with disabilities realize their personal potential through art. Call
We Care Arts at 937-252-3937 for tickets and more information.
