Community Makers Foundation Birthday Fundraiser

Enjoy 3 unique craft stations, including an art canvas, along with one free raffle ticket for your chances to win various prizes.

Who We Are
Community Makers Foundation is a local nonprofit making art accessible to everyone in our community. We turn donated and recycled materials into creative projects for kids, teens, adults, and seniors. Every collaborative piece we make together is donated back into the community. In just one year, our makers have created art for fire stations, senior communities, schools, and local partners.

What This Is All For
This is our one-year celebration and our biggest fundraiser of the year. Every ticket and every bid helps fund accessible art programming right here in our community, including new workshops, school partnerships, and programs for the underserved.

Where and When it Will Be Held

Springfield Town Center is our generous venue partner and the event will be held in the former JCPenny Court at the Mall.

6699 Springfield Mall Road, Springfield, VA 22150 (Lower Level, Formerly JC Penny Court)

Doors open at 2:00-5:00pm
