Brave New Fish

Posted in Blog by Brooke Trout

One of Brooke’s favorite annual events is just two weeks away! Yes ICAN is a nonprofit working world-wide to break the silence and cycle of abuse. Every year they put on The Strike Against Child Abuse To Spare The Kids fundraiser. This year’s event takes place June 9th from noon to 4 p.m. at Canoga Park Bowl, 20122 Vanowen St, Winnetka. The twenty dollar donation to the cause gets you two rounds of bowling, bowling shoes, and a “light” lunch which is typically a generous variety of pizza, pasta, sandwiches, chips, rolls or breadsticks, salad, macaroni, cookies or pie and a soda, juice or water. They go all out! There will also be a silent auction and raffle prizes, as well as goodie bags for all children 12 and under. Not only that, you can also meet and bowl with your favorite Star Wars characters from the Southern California Garrison of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion! Here is a link for more information: http://www.yesican.org/Bowlathon2013.htm

Also upcoming is the annual Pasadena Chalk Festival benefit for the nonprofit Light Bringer Project on June 15th at 1 p.m. There you will find Brooke chalk drawing. The Pasadena Chalk Festival also features a silent auction for unique art canvases designed by the chalk artists.

All proceeds will benefit Room 13, a student run art studio supported in part by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
