A Huge Success!
On two beautiful days last July, Gallery in the Garden raised over $4,000 for Turning Point.
Gallery In The Garden announced, last week, its $4,011.48 donation to Turning Point, a domestic violence agency with a mission to confront violence against women and children in McHenry County, Illinois.
The donation represents 20 percent of proceeds from art sales during the July 2009 event at a private garden in Woodstock. The donation also includes portions of proceeds from Jenapea’s food and drink sales, raffle for donated artwork and a donation jar for Turning Point.
“The programs and services offered by Turning Point are critical assets to this community and without this organization many families have nowhere to turn in a time of crisis,” said Deb Glaubke, co-founder of Gallery In The Garden. “We are happy to see this donation go towards advancing their programs in McHenry County.”
Celebrating its fourth year, Gallery In The Garden had over 800 people attended the two-day show that featured 50 area artists and musicians. The three-quarter acre garden at 600 Lawndale Ave. is a ten-year work in progress for Glaubke and co-founders Gale Harris and Rob Glaubke. It features a water garden, an oriental meditation garden and a variety of native and imported plantings.
“Gallery In The Garden represents the best in McHenry County coming together at this beautiful venue to raise money for Turning Point,” said Jane Farmer, Executive Director of Turning Point. “We thank the organizers for again making us the charity of choice.”
Both Turning Point and Gallery In the Garden are 501(c)(3) Non-For-Profit organizations.
