Community members and public figures in Lansing,
Kalamazoo and Detroit are auctioning off $45,000 worth of merchandise to help
support the ART of Leadership Foundation.
The ART of Leadership Foundation provides leadership
retreats and coaching classes, workshops and community service projects for
young leaders.
“We’re not saying they’ll be leaders later, they’re
leaders now,” says Denise Demers Stein about the kids who join the program.
This is the first year the ART of Leadership Foundation
has held an auction. Stein expects the auction to bring in at least $23,000.
Items donated by Lansing citizens will support
Lansing-based leaders. Anyone who successfully buys an item can specify which
of the three communities gets the proceeds. Local items include lunch with
Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero and round trip airfare for two from Lansing's Capital City Airport to
Orlando, Florida on Allegiant Air.
The auction starts March 2 and runs through March 16.
