We are now at liberty to announce that the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning has received a generous grant from the National Cartoonists Society Foundation!
NCS Foundation President Steve McGarry and The Foundation Board of Directors have graciously agreed to give Festival 2014 a grant of financial support which, when added to our successful Indiegogo fundraising drive, will cover 95% of our projected expenses!
The foundation was also a generous underwriter of Festival 2012 and we cannot thank them enough for believing in this event and our mission to connect cartoonists to fans with live presentations and gallery shows.
The foundation will also, once again, be sponsoring a charity auction to be held on Saturday, September 27th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the local children's hospital clinic and also a school for children with autism and other learning challenges. Details of the auction and a preview of the items up for bidding will be posted by August.
We DO still need some additional financial support to cover a few extras we would like to add to the festival so we are continuing to accept donations either via the paypal button here on the site or by personal check. (click here for details)
Thank you again NCSF!!!!
