This week I had the opportunity to be involved in a raffle benefiting Black Lives Matter and Lehigh Valley Girls Rock. I matted and framed my “Growth” postcard (available here) to donate to the raffle. You can view it alongside 30+ amazing pieces here!
This raffle coincides with the 6th annual LV L*dyfest, a fundraiser concert which will be held live on instagram, today, Friday, July 10th, 2020, at 8pm. Make sure you tune into the @lvgirlsrock instagram to check out the show! There is a suggested $10 donation. This donation will also benefit Black Lives Matter and Lehigh Valley Girls Rock, 80% and 20%, respectively.
Then, the following week, Lehigh Valley Girls Rock is hosting their first ever online sharecase! You can tune in and watch all the music videos that the youth campers created during “Connecting While Apart,” the online youth rock camp that is taking place next week. Check it out on Youtube Live on Saturday July 18th at 7pm!
At the time this post was published, there is still 24 hours to enter the LV L*dyfest raffle! They’ve raised $1,050 !!! so far! Get your entries in while you can. The winners will be drawn this Saturday, July 11th, at 7pm, on instagram live. Artwork will be shipped to the winners.

Good luck to everyone who has entered. I know I personally have my eyes on a piece or two! I look forward to seeing where my piece ends up. Love to whoever gets that!
Lastly, but far from least, if you’re not already following Lehigh Valley Girls Rock by the end of this post, you really should be! They are a wonderful nonprofit organization in the Lehigh Valley, offering important and empowering programs for both youth and adults alike.

While you’re at it, if you’re in a position too, look into their various donation options. They’ve made it pretty easy for you to set up a recurring donation, at 4 different levels, all of which explain exactly what you’re helping fund. They also accept one time donations, and donations of various musical gear, camp supplies, and food. Not in a position to donate? That’s quite alright! Maybe you have time to volunteer? 🙂
