Colour For A Cause

I just finished adding some watercolor to a patch of crocuses, and I did it for a cause! It’s part of a project to benefit Creative Kids Saskatchewan titled Colour For A Cause.

Jason Sylvestre (illustrator of the very popular You Might Be From Saskatchewan If book) has published a 70 page colouring book of scenes from Saskatchewan.

Jason and his publisher, MacIntyre Purcell, are partnering to use the coloring books to raise money for Creative Kids Saskatchewan. Creative Kids is a charitable giving program that helps enable low-income children and youth to participate in arts and culture activities.

Saskatchewan artists, athletes, media and business personalities have been provided with advance copies of the books and been asked to sign and color one page in their books.

All of these books will be offered for purchase in a televised auction in June with 100% of the proceeds going to Creative Kids Saskatchewan. In addition, 10% of all general sales will also go to Creative Kids.

For more information on the fundraiser, contact Christie McCullock at Creative Kids Saskatchewan.

To connect with Jason, see his Facebook page.

I understand the books are already stocked on the shelves of many Saskatchewan bookstores.
