Cedar Crest Academy students of Springfield Township offer personally decorated coffee mugs to help Coalition on Temporary Shelter at its ImaginAide fundraiser, Saturday, April 25, at Motor City Casino Hotel located in downtown Detroit.
The fundraiser features works by artists and designers for auction. Academy students join those from Detroit Country Day of Bloomfield Hills, decorating memento coffee mugs given to patrons. In preparation, students learn about homeless issues through a variety of class projects.
“The students will be integrating curriculum content with community service and delivering a final product for the ImaginAide guests,” said Bette Moen, Cedar Crest director. “From this comes their inspiration to create something relevant. We are pleased to be involved.”
“It’s wonderful that young students care and are willing to learn about our mission and the issues surrounding homelessness,” said Lynn Wilhelm, COTS chief development officer.
