Our first Holiday Display At CVA!

December 15, 2011

Thanks so much to The College Of Visual Arts for including The Link Foundation Inc. display in their 2011 Holiday Art Sale. The Holiday Art Sale is an opportunity for students and alumni to sell work and help support the CVA Excellence in Scholarship Award Fund. This event is open to the public, so please invite your family and friends to attend. Over two thousand artworks are offered, and most are priced under $100.

Founded in 1924, the college is located in the thriving, urban residential areas of historic Summit Avenue and Ramsey Hill in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

….sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, and other times you make new friends during a very difficult time. This is what happened to our family when our son, Brett Banasiewicz, suffered a traumatic brain injury on his BMX bike on August 23, 2011. Dustin Grice is one of Brett’s BMX buddies that reached out to us about the Link Foundation. Jeff Troldahl, founder of the Link Foundation, and Dustin Grice designed a “Maddog” bracelet with Brett’s signature colors pink and green. The Link Foundation sold many bracelets via the internet and also allowed us to sell the bracelets at Brett’s BMX Skate Park. The proceeds went to Brett’s mounting medical bills. Brett was able to obtain the best care in the United States that also included hyperbarics. Brett had to relocate to Texas because the state of Indiana is not licensed to administer hyperbarics for TBI’s..
