HEEF Art Sale A Success

On Saturday, March 3rd and Sunday, March 4th, 2012 the Hopi Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) hosted their annual art sale in Phoenix at the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (2214 N. Central Ave.  Through the sale of art, raffle tickets and financial support from sponsors, such as Premier Sponsor Peabody Energy, the HEEF raised over $24,000.

As the HEEF’s biggest fundraiser, much of the success from the event is attributed to contributions from  artists such as Kim Obrzut,  Iva Honyestewa, Clark Tenakhongva and Gloria Kahe. HEEF Executive Director LuAnn Leonard stated, "through the generous and continued donations of their artwork, all the contributing artists have not only shown their commitment to the HEEF, but to also ensuring educational opportunities will continue to be available for future generations of Hopi students." She added, "the HEEF would also like to thank  all the volunteers, especially the Hopi students whom receive funding from the HEEF. The event could not run as smoothly without their tireless efforts."
