Join our 2nd Annual Butterflies & Friends Project!

The 2nd Annual Butterflies & Friends is a community service initiative
led by The Rotary Club of Colorado Springs in partnership with 
Imagination Celebration to raise awareness and funds to serve children and
promote the arts in schools. Participating artists will contribute to making dreams real by transforming large-scale metal butterfly "templates" into works of art. 

Several of School District 11’s schools are closing and re-arranging. 
Whether or not this is your school district or your neighborhood, 
these children are all our children and need to see that we care.
 
The funds raised will be used to provide community-building arts programs
in schools that are facing major transitions and changes. 
This year's beneficiaries will be Hunt Elementary and West K-8. 
With all of the economic challenges that families are facing, 
the “butterfly” is an excellent metaphor.  

Each transformed butterfly sculpture will be auctioned off at our celebration
(September 19th at the Briarhurt Manor) to help provide arts education
in targeted schools and assist the Rotary Community Service Fund in
contributing to many wonderful causes in Colorado Springs. Everyone will 
have a chance to provide a permanent shelter for these evocative
beauties at their own home or business. Help us to promote a "healthy cocoon
for every child" and encourage a creative metamorphosis into all that each can be!
