Garfield
Print Raises Money for Alabama 4-H
During the final week of December 2001, a Garfield
limited edition print signed by Garfield creator Jim Davis was up
for auction on eBay, the Internet's leading auction site. After more
than 200 visits and 16 bids, the 15" x 35" print sold for
$910.
What does that mean for Alabama 4-H? A quick and
easy profit of $455.
It's all part of a unique fund-raiser from National
4-H Council as part of the celebration of 4-H's 100th birthday.
Fifty-four numbered prints were produced and were
hand signed by Davis, a former 4-H'er. Fifty-three of these prints are being
auctioned on eBay. The auctions began in November 2001 and will
continue through November 2002.
Each week, a different 4-H state foundation receives
one-half of the selling price (highest bid) of the print.
The proceeds will be used to support the 4-H
scholarship fund. This fund provides assistance to youth involved in
Alabama 4-H who need help in paying for camp and project books and
supplies. It also recognizes and supports 4-H'ers who represent
Alabama 4-H in national and international 4-H events and
competition.
