Kate Holmes Fundraiser
ARTIST KATE HOLMES RAISES FUNDS FOR ANIMALS IN NEED
A Portion of the Artist’s Proceeds will Benefit The Anti-Cruelty Society
CHICAGO (June 18, 2009) – The Anti-Cruelty Society and artist Kate Holmes have come together to benefit animals in need. Starting in June, Holmes will be selling her animal-themed paintings and donating 15% of the sale to The Anti-Cruelty Society.
“I have a great respect for animals. They inspire my art, my family and my life,” said Holmes. “This is the perfect opportunity to give to animals that need help - people have a vital responsibility to protect these creatures.”
Kate’s art reflects the importance of animal welfare organizations like The Anti-Cruelty Society. That is why Holmes introduces her Give Back Campaign, which donates 15% of every print sale to select animal welfare organizations such as The Society.
As an animal adopter herself, Kate’s family includes two young children, two rescue kittens and two dogs that hail from a long line of Mexican street mutts.
“The animals teach my family many things, but above all, the importance of unconditional love,” said Holmes.
