Unite With Art


Come and visit les amis du FROMAGE & Au Petit Chavignol at Storeum on Monday June 3rd. We are going to be there with the big red slicer to show our support for UNICEF'S Unite With Art.


Unite with Art is a series of art auctions to benefit UNICEF's Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS campaign. The inaugural Unite with Art Auction and Gala was held on June 21, 2008 in Vancouver and raised over $276,000 for the campaign. It's a great event.
