The Ladybug Project Inc.
 
The fundraiser was a success! 75 people came out to support us, and a great amount of money was raised through a silent auction and the sale of phenomenal artwork, created by local artists. The event was hosted by Comedienne Kiana Dancie, and Mia the Peace Leader also came to support the event!

Upset you missed out? Don't worry, there are still auction items on Ebay, with 100% of profit going towards The Ladybug Project. Check out the auction items here!
 
 
We have partnered with The Collaborative for a school and office supple drive! These supplies will be shipped to schools in Equatorial Guniea and Madagascar. If you're in the Philly area you can drop and supplies that would be useful for a classroom at The Collaborative HQ, 401 S. Broad St, 2nd Floor (inside the Gershman Y / U Arts building, across from Symphony House). Drop off times are Monday-Thursday, 10am-6pm (you can call Danielle first at            610-212-5756      )

 
 
Our fundraising goal is $50,000...donate to help us meet our goal!
