Seriously. The first auction for the Robert’s Snow fund raiser opened today. You know all those beautiful snowflakes you’ve seen fluttering around the ‘net? The ones created by illustrators like Alexandra Boiger, Brooke Dyer, Kevin Hawkes, and Daniel Mahoney? This is your chance to pick up original art! And even if you can’t justify buying one for yourself, just think. This could be the solution to the what-to-buy-my-mother-in-law dilemma this year.
Auction 1 will begin accepting bids on Monday, Nov. 19 at 9:00 a.m. with a starting bid of $50 for each snowflake. All bids must be placed before the close of Auction 1 on Friday, Nov. 23 at 5:00 pm. Don’t forget that 100 percent of the proceeds from this online auction will benefit sarcoma research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and that all but $25 of the winning bid is tax deductible.
