GIFT of Vision - A virtual fundraiser supporting vision saving research

Last year, I was introduced to a young family from San Rafael that has a singular mission. Their mission is to change the lives of people with a rare genetic disease called Usher Syndrome Type 1B. This devastating disease leads to the loss of both hearing and vision. Their deep passion for this mission comes from their daughter Lia who was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type 1B in 2018. From what I’ve seen, I know Justin and Rosalyn are going to make an impact on this disease.

I’ve donated two vases (and custom wood crates) for the silent auction at the Gift of Vision virtual fundraiser on December 3rd, 2020 at 6pm PST. I’ll be attending the event - looking forward to an appearance by Stephen Curry!

Please join in to support this amazing family on their mission!

10am-6pm Friday - Sunday

Marin Center Exhibit Hall

10 Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael, CA 94903

https://www.artsandcraftsshow.com/marin.php

For 3 days the Marin Center will be turned into an Arts & Crafts Market --25,000 sq ft and 150 exhibits offering handcraft of design -- products devoted to traditional artistic forms and techniques –luminous color, careful detail, romantic symbolism, devotion to nature, and the rejection of soulless, mass-produced decorative arts.

Each artist, artisan, handcrafter, merchant, jewelery maker, designer, gemcutter, and beadmaker is juried on the orginality of their work. Many have spent over forty years reviving lost styles, using hand tools, techniques, and an imagination that brings life to comtemporary handcraft of design.
