CARBONDALE (WSIL) -- Young artists wishing to participate in the annual "For Kids' Sake Art Auction" still have until Tuesday to make those submissions.
Ryan Edwards, Assistant Director of the organization, says the program empowers local children to create art that makes a big difference in another child's life.
"Next year is going to be our 20th annual art auction here at Longbranch, so kids can still submit their artwork. It will be custom framed, and it will go up March 9th until April 24th for silent auction and all that money will go to kids in Bangladesh. And money goes such a long way over there, some $50 art sale is enough to support an orphan for an entire month" says Edwards.
Organizers say the art auction has grown over the years and is now one of the program's largest fund raising efforts.
