Ele’s Place, Inc.

“The Art Van challenge grant not only inspired hundreds of attendees at our two Breakfast events to make a donation, but also filled a big gap in our budget resulting from the economic downturn.  Many of our annual donors just couldn’t give last year because they lost jobs and investments.  Art Van saved the day and made it possible for Ele’s Place to avoid cutting programs for grieving children and their families, who are coping with the most devastating time in their lives.  Thank you, Art Van!”
