The Goddard School preschoolers host art auction in support of Ben's Fund

Compassion and learning come together to benefit the local autism community

Preschoolers at two locations of The Goddard School in Redmond, WA recently banded together with three other Goddard School locations in Seattle in support of autism and Ben’s Fund.

The children at all five locations created artwork inspired by iconic artists and authors (such as Dali and O’Keefe) and have auctioned off their creations to benefit Ben’s Fund. The Goddard School raised $24,181 with this year’s auction ($7,950 came from the two Redmond schools), bringing the grand total to roughly $80,000 raised since the art auction initiative began in 2010. This is the first year the donation is going to Ben’s Fund.

For more information, please contact The Goddard School located in Redmond, WA at (425) 882-1100.
