Raising Money and Spirits for
Karmanos Cancer Institute Breast Cancer Education

A portion of all art sales that evening were added to the final amount raised for Karmanos Cancer Institute's Breast Cancer Education Program.

The money raised for the quilt itself and for that evening totalled over $1,300.

How many people do you know who have been affected by cancer? It takes a very little from the very few to make a lot of difference to the many. Many thanks to those who have contributed their time and talent to the project. As a community we have created a quilt to raise money for the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Proceeds from the "Quilt We Built" project will be ear-marked for BREAST CANCER EDUCATION at the Karmanos Institute. The Quilt itself will be displayed at Karmanos, where it will provide comfort, hope and inspiration to those who need it most.

The "Quilt We Built" project was the brainchild of Amanda Maniscalco and is the culmination of many hours of work by many talented, generous people, some of whom have experienced the devastation of this disease first hand. Raising a common voice, these brave people "decorated" and contributed individual fabric squares and/or money to create the magnificent quilt. The theme of the quilt was healing the spirit and will be displayed and presented to representatives of Karmanos on October 12th. A DONATION OF $25WAS SUGGESTED FOR ADMISSION. Also, a portion of all artwork sold that evening went toward Breast Cancer Education.
