Help Petra B Help The Arts

My wife and partner Petra B is running in the 5k Race For The Arts later this month. How about supporting her and helping a great charity at the same time? All donations to sponsor her will go to the Women’s Wisdom Project, an art program of Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services.

If you would like to donate make checks payable to “Race for the Arts” and send to Petra B. Wynbrandt, P.O. Box 340564, Sacramento, CA 95834-0564.

Read her statement in her own words after the jump:

Please support me (Petra B. Wynbrandt) in the Race for the Arts!

I am participating in the Race for the Arts on Friday August 28th. The will be my first 5k run/walk in 20 years! (Actually my only other 5k was in 1989).

The Race for the Arts is a charity event to raise funds for non-profit art organizations. 100% (yes 100%) of all donations I raise will go to the Women’s Wisdom Project, an art program of Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. This program is free for all women! It’s a healing through art type program, which I am a strong supporter of. I believe art was significant in helping me through chemo brain while I was going through cancer treatment. Although I had lots of support from friends and family, and the financial means to pay for my own art classes, I am very much aware that many women don’t have these same advantages. Supporting this program is a way I can help those women.

If you are interested in making a pledge to the race, please contact me at pb@dazedandfused.com. Checks are to be made out to “Race for the Arts” .

Thank you,

Petra B
