Famous Art
Do you know any celebrities?
We are just beginning a fund-raising scheme that we hope will be popular because it does not involve asking for money! We are asking well-known people - in the media, for example, to do a piece of artwork on a card, or instead to provide a photograph of themselves signed on the front.
The subject choice for artwork is entirely open. So is the medium: pencil, pen, crayon, felt-tip or paint. It does not matter, so long as it is signed by the artist on the front. This is a valued contribution that can be made within minutes. Mencap and the Alexandra League of Friends will be grateful for anything produced.
During the celebration year the Famous art will be auctioned and all proceeds will be divided equally between Mencap and the Alexandra Hospital.
So, if you know anyone who you can ask to be involved, we will be very grateful for your personal involvement. You can request a blank card from Val Harris, Head of facilities, The Alexandra Hospital, Woodrow Drive, Redditch, Worcs, B98 7UB (01527 512020) or from Barrie Wade, Rowan House, 26b Crooks Lane, Studley, Warks, B80 7QX (01527 853860). Alternatively simply obtain the signed photo and send it to us together with a sentence about the contributor.
