Hi friends! Katy Evans and Janice Bridges are joining familial forces to raise funds for Hilltop Artists! 

This fundraising team is part of the overarching Celebrating Better Futures virtual event. From October 13th through the 16th, supporters will enjoy videos featuring student and supporter stories and the auction, featuring this year's signature centerpiece sculptures. Explore the full event here.

From Katy: Hilltop Artists have been surviving to thrive for the last six+ months: providing online communities and arts activities, preparing new online curriculum for all the students, and working in design partnerships with artists and studios in Italy and England.

There have been many silver linings throughout this extended crisis but one of the greatest successes has been the expansion of our important Arts Connect program serving girls who are court-involved. Now that this program is virtual, more young women have been able to join our cohorts, and many of them are finding solace in the virtual setting.

And why are we Anti-Racist Grandmas & Friends? Janice Bridges and Katy are running a campaign encouraging voters to write in Janice Bridges for Pierce County Sheriff. And Janice identifies, and will lead the office of the sheriff from an anti-racist grandma perspecitve! You can learn more about here.
