May 2008 - Giving Heart
The Giving Heart event was held at Eno Vino's in Madison, WI in May of 2008. The idea for this Sunday afternoon event came from four women who wanted to honor Mark's memory by raising money for the MAK Foundation. Champagne and flat breads were served as guests were invited to purchase items from different vendors and bid on silent auction items, with proceeds going to the Foundation. The incredible success of this event was a great tribute to Mark. The warmth of his smile and memory reached out to over 200 people he had never met and inspired them to support the very worthy causes that the MAK Foundation supports.
Several people with giving and generous hearts made this special event possible. Items that were available for purchase included:
* Handmade Jewelry, including a special "Mark" necklace by Jewelry by Shaney
* Arbonne Skin Care, represented by Beth Malcook
* Unique Decored Mirrors and Platters, by Kelly Hughes Artistry
* Note cards with art prints, by Rebecca Peragigne, Art and Philanthropy
