The Highland Food Bank has been serving the Upper Yakima Valley for over 20 years.  Each month, the volunteer-run food bank feeds more than 1,500 people and provides toilet paper, laundry soap and other essentials.  They also provide a book for each child who visits.  The glassybaby donation will go towards a much-needed truck to help deliver food to those in need.

Seattle-based artist, Fay Jones, stopped by the Madrona studio last week to present Lee Rhodes, glassybaby founder, with the original sketch for the winning  ‘million dollar baby’.  Fay is one of the Northwest’s most recognizable and beloved artists, with work featured in over 100 solo and group exhibitions.  Her works can be viewed at The Grover Thurston Gallery in Seattle, Washington, and at Laura Russo Gallery in Portland, Oregon, where she has an exhibit opening December 6th.

24 walkers and eight volunteer crew members came together to make this goal a reality, covering 55 miles in three days.

You can read a first-hand account of the walk, day-by-day, from glassybaby faithful, Trina Chow on her blog. Trina, herself, raised over $14,000 in this inaugural event! In her own words: “Suffice to say: Amazing day, amazing event, amazing friends, amazing experience. So proud, and so honored to have been a part of it all.”

We’re proud and honored of the example you set, Trina!  Heartfelt congratulations to you and everyone that participated and supported your efforts.  There’s still time to donate to the Immediate Impact Breast Cancer Walk. Donations will accepted through October 31, 2012.
