Feuerman for Lily Sarah Grace

by Kelsey Zalimeni

Lily Sarah Grace is an organization founded in the cause of promoting art among youth.  Connecticut native Matthew Badger lost his three artistic, bright daughters Lily, Sarah, and Grace in a tragic fire on Christmas day in 2011.  In honor of his children's passion for the arts, Matthew started this amazing project which has since grown to reach over 160,000 children and raise over $1,000,000 in the name of encouraging and cultivating creativity. 

Carole Feuerman has joined the likes of Lena Dunham, Tina Fey, Johnny Knoxville, Lionel Richie, and Rufus Wainwright in contributing drawings to a fundraising campaign for the Lily Sarah Grace book entitled 'You Can't Memorize This.'

Philanthropy is a massive part of Carole's priorities, and she was honored and excited to add to the group effort.  Click this link to view the video teaser for the forthcoming book.

Be sure to visit the Lily Sarah Grace website to learn more about the organization and to get involved yourself. Every bit helps!
