Make a Difference!
Native Art Supporting Hearts is a curated online auction benefiting the Sparkle Strong Foundation, a nonprofit founded at Baby Jewels’s bedside to support families living in the pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU).
This special event brings together Native artists and supporters to celebrate the power of art, culture and community care. Our founder and family are members of the Delaware Nation and Kiowa Tribe, and our inspiration, Baby Jewels, was also Chickasaw. Through this auction, we honor those roots while raising funds to support caregiver resources, CICU Survival Kits and Jewels Joyboxes that celebrate milestones during a child’s cardiac journey.
The auction catalog is being created, but be sure to check out the link above for sneak peeks as we approach the auction.
