100% of the proceeds up to $1,000 from this auction will be donated to Operation Underground Railroad at OURRESCUE.ORG to help fight child trafficking around the world. Any funds raised above the $1,000 mark will be donated to the Draper Philharmonic & Choral Society. If we surpass $2,000, those funds will be split 50/50 between these 2 organizations.

The Draper Philharmonic & Choral Society and artist Dan Preece, have teamed up to create this fundraising auction. The “Liberty Tree" copper tree sculpture stands 32 inches tall and 32 inches wide at the top of the tree, with an 18 inch Birchwood base.

The tree was hand-made using a copper wire sculpting technique. The base was created from Birchwood hand turned on a lathe. Its fabrication can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/c/artforour

You may submit a bid for the auction at any time by e-mailing ArtForOUR@gmail.com The current bid is updated above. Final bids will be collected at the conclusion of the George Washington concert series.

*** If you’d like to be an absolute hero, win the bidding and then donate the “Liberty Tree” to the Draper Philharmonic & Choral Society so they can have it for their organization, which happens to have a tree as their icon/image. Be a hero!!
