This Friday night at 111 Minna, artist Kelly Tunstall is hosting a stunning line-up of local artists for a special sketch party and fundraiser, "Will Draw for Drugs" to benefit Indie Mart and Workshop founder Kelly Malone's ongoing cancer treatment. Malone, who has been in remission from previous bouts of cancer, was diagnosed this past April with an advanced stage of cancer that had spread to non-localized areas.
As is predictable in this day and age, Malone had already been dropped from her insurance due to her previous cancer diagnosis. Up until now, she's been paying her mounting hospital bills out-of-pocket, while still running her businesses and maintaining a huge presence in the local DIY art, fashion, and music scenes. Now, Malone needs help from the community that she's so lovingly nurtured.
Give Kelly a hand, and head over to 111 Minna on Friday night to take part in the best sketch party ever (in which you can buy cheap art on the fly!), or click the PayPal button on the "Help Kelly Kick Cancer" donation page. The group's first fundraising goal is $15,000, which will cover Malone's surgery and chemotherapy treatments. This will enable her to take much needed time off her busy schedule to rest and gain her strength.
