The Michigan Legislature established the Children’s Trust Fund in 1982 as a non-profit organization to provide permanent funding for preventing child abuse and neglect. The Children’s Trust Fund is an independent foundation inside of state government, and has never received tax dollars to support its work. Instead, funding comes from the highly competitive world of charitable donations, gifts, and grants.Since 1982, the Children’s Trust Fund has raised more than $80 million for child abuse and neglect prevention.

The Children’s Trust Fund serves as a voice for Michigan’s children and families and promotes their health, safety, and welfare by funding effective local programs and services that prevent child abuse and neglect.

Keweenaw Krayons Recycling Art Program

Keweenaw Krayons Recycling Art Program continues with “Found Object” Garden Sculpture

Work began on the Keweenaw Krayons “Found Object” Garden Sculptures in the fall of 2008 and will continue with a workshop, led by artist Darlene Basto on Tuesday, June 16 from 6 to 8 p.m.
While driftwood and other weather-worthy objects will be available, participants are invited to bring their own special “found objects” to add to the piece.
There is no charge for attending the workshop, which will take place in the Keweenaw Krayons garden, located at the Mohawk School, but donations of cash, supplies, time, pop cans, plants, etc., are always welcome.  In case of rain sculpture building will take place inside.

In order to have enough supplies and staff on hand, participants are encouraged to pre-register by calling 337-4706 or emailing staff@keweenawkrayons.com    While all ages are welcome, youth younger than six are asked to bring an older teen or an adult along.
The Recycled Art Project is funded in part through the Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs, the Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Denise Marth Memorial Grant through the Superior Child Abuse Prevention Council

Keweenaw Krayons is located in the FAR South end of Horizons Alternative High School – the former Mohawk School
