Jesinoski Arts Summer With the Crime Victims Fund: Auctions, Parties, and Football?

The summer of 2011 has quickly filled up with events, barbecues, and several partnerships with local non-profit organizations I am very excited about (for more information about my non-profit partnerships go to www.jesart.com).

One partnership that is now in full swing is with the San Diego Crime Victim's Fund.  The CVF, true to it's name, helps people who are victims of crime and who may not have the financial means to cope.  For this particular partnership I will be featured on the CVF website (http://www.crimevictimsfund.org) throughout the summer, with the finale being the CVF annual gala in August where I will be the featured artist.

Although the details are in the finalizing process, the annual gala typically takes place in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe.  This is an event to honor those who have supported the CVF, as well as to help raise additional funds; not to mention the great spread of food, drink, and music throughout the evening. This year, we hope to offer some of my best works for auction during the annual gala.  To learn more about this event go to http://www.crimevictimsfund.org/events.html.

Moving into the fall, one tasty caveat to this partnership I am very excited about is the possibility of working with the CVF at the season opener for the Chargers, where they will be taking on my very own Minnesota Vikings.  This would be meaningful for me personally as I grew up a Vikings fan in Minnesota, but the real meaning is that the season opener takes place on Sept. 11.  The significance of Sept. 11 has become an important time of mourning and reflection for our entire country.  Perhaps even moreso in the eyes of the friends and family who tragically became the victims of such a terrible crime on Sept. 11, 2001.  More to come...
