The Chair-ity for Children event April 1, now in its 10th year, is a fundraiser for the SparrowClubs to help local children with medical needs. Local artists and students design and paint chairs which are then silent auctioned at Redmond businesses.

All chairs will be showcased together for public preview at the Redmond Chamber Coffee Clatter, held at the Redmond Antique Mall (on Evergreen)from 8:30 to 9:30am on Friday, April 1. For April, twenty businesses will feature a chair for silent auction bidding, starting at $50.

At the end of the month, the highest bidder can claim their one-of-a-kind chair masterpiece. This event is organized and managed by the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs, Central Oregon and more information can be obtained at the Facebook Page “Chairity for Children” (note the spelling).
