Butterflies & Friends
is a community service initiative
created by
The Rotary Club of Colorado Springs 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.
In
the first three years we have raised over $100,000 in funds
to develop and support arts education in District Eleven schools.
We are currently preparing for our FOURTH event.
CONGRATULATIONS
TO OUR CHOSEN ARTISTS!
Check out our ARTISTS page to see our artists and their butterflies.

DATE!
Our auction will be at the
Cheyenne Mountain Resort on September 17 at 5:30pm.

The funds that we raise will be used to provide community-building
arts programs
in
schools that are facing major transitions and changes.
These children are all our children and need to see that we
care.
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 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!
