Causeway Foundation 2011 Holiday Card CampaignThe Causeway Foundation is celebrating the 11th year of its Holiday Card Campaign—a volunteer-led and run campaign that has raised over $100,000, through the support of its sponsors, local artists and the generosity of the National Capital community. The Holiday Card Campaign raises funds to support Causeway Work Centre. Each year hundreds of people with mental health issues and other barriers to employment come to Causeway to enhance their skills, receive one-on-one support, overcome challenges, find employment and begin the journey to a more independent life. This year, the cards feature six original designs – paintings and photographs highlighting iconic Ottawa scenes. The images are donated by local artists Bhat Boy, Geof H. Burbidge, John Alexander Day and Ronald Campbell. Bilingual descriptive text appears on the card backs and custom printing of a personal message inside the card is available, at no charge, for those purchasing 10 packages or more. These unique cards can be purchased for just $10 per eight-card pack. Cards will be sold at the Glebe Craft and Artisan Fair on November 18-20, Walter Baker Craft Show November 19, and the Hintonburg Craft Fair on November 26. Cards will also be available by telephone, (613) 725-3494 ext. 108, or email at info@causewayfoundation.org.
