Chairs for Charity

Yes, it's musical chairs for adults - Extreme
Musical Chairs!
In early
2008, a collaboration of three Calaveras non-profit groups
formed to stage the first Calaveras Chairs for Charity event.
The Calaveras Arts Council, Soroptimist International of
Calaveras County and CCF realized that by collaborating, we
could each benefit and share the work of hosting the event that
we stage at the end of January.

Door prizes included a Saddle Creek
Resort golf package.
Our successful 2009 and 2010
Chairs for Charity Events combined art, fun and fund-raising.
Creative decorated chairs filled the Native Sons Hall in Murphys and
several hundred guests enjoyed the food, the good-humor of
Extreme Musical Chairs, the auctions, and the chance to win
excellent door prizes.

Professional and amateur artists
donated fanciful chair art.
Chairs were created by professional
artists, budding individual artists and community groups. Profits were shared with those entering
chairs and special awards went to the Best of Show entry. All
three groups were pleased with the results of the event, and
have begun planning the 3rd annual Chairs for Charity to be held
January 29, 2011!

Guests enjoyed dinner amongst the
artwork.
