By quiltshome ⋅ December 3, 2007 ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

Fiberart For A Cause, an international effort by fiber artists and patrons, was recently recognized as the #2 fundraiser in the nation for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life in 2007.

Fiber artist, Virginia A. Spiegel, notes, “When I founded Fiberart For A Cause (FFAC) in 2005, my goal was to raise $90. We have now donated over $135,000. A great deal of our success is due to the personal involvement our honorary chair, Karey Bresenhan, Director of International Quilt Festival ­ Houston, Chicago, Long Beach.”

Fiberart For A Cause continues to raise money through annual fiber events such as the Invitation Reverse Auction of Fabulous Fiberart and Collage Mania as well as the online book, “Art, Nature, Creativity, Life.” (NOTE from QuiltsHome: This would make a great holiday gift!!!).

Spiegel fundraises for the American Cancer Society in honor of her father, a colon cancer survivor. For more information, visit Fiberart for a Cause.
