Rubber Ducks Rule!
Our fine feathered friends over at Rubber Duck -- The Party -- have filed their final report, and it is stellar!
Nearly 300 in attendance!
You can have your eagles and swans -- The Octopus Club will take Ducks anytime.
They're more than they're quacked up to be!
THANK YOU from the 2010 ArtErotica Planning Committee!
As you know, every cent collected in ticket and auction sales at an Octopus Club party goes directly to AIDS Services of Austin’s Paul Kirby Emergency Fund, which provides critical assistance to our friends and neighbors living with HIV and AIDS.
This year, we’ve raised $56,000—a record amount, and proceeds from the art auction are still coming in. In addition to that, AE2010 was our largest silent auction yet, featuring 450 fantastic pieces of art. More than 1,100 people came together for Austin’s sexiest nonprofit fundraiser!
Without our corporate sponsors and hosts, the experience of ArtErotica wouldn’t be possible.
OCTOPUS CLUB MIRACLE – 2009 VERSION
$149,473.94
Spring is a time of new beginnings...the flowers start blooming, leaves are slowly emerging from the branches, all around us we see signs of life's abundance as winter's chill begins to fade. Fresh starts naturally lead to reflections of what's come before- the obstacles we've faced, the challenges we've overcome, and all the blessings we've been granted. The Octopus Club faced plenty of hurdles in 2009, but with each one came yet another shining example of how our community is able to pull together to find creative solutions and overcome.
