We are very excited to announce that Friends of ArtQuest has been awarded a matching grant of $30,000 from the Community Foundation of Mendocino County! As part of this grant, we are asking for your support to match these funds. Any amount you donate will be matched dollar-for-dollar and all money raised will directly benefit ArtQuest students!
Every year, Friends of ArtQuest hosts a gala fundraising event to support the award-winning ArtQuest program at Santa Rosa High School. Just as we began planning this year’s event, the Tubbs Fire destroyed Paradise Ridge Winery, which is owned by an ArtQuest family who graciously offered to host our event. Although we are heartbroken at the loss, we are comforted to know that plans are already being made to rebuild Paradise Ridge Winery. We look forward to returning in the coming years, but have decided not to host a social/fundraising event while our community continues to recover. Instead, we are asking for matching donations that will go a long way toward offsetting the financial loss of this fundraiser and helping Friends of ArtQuest to fund things like:
This year, Friends of ArtQuest also made an additional $5,000 contribution to Santa Rosa High School Foundation’s Fire Relief Fund that directly benefited SRHS students affected by the fires.
