Support Young Evanston Artists One Dime at a Time!

During the months of April, May and June, Young Evanston Artists (YEA!) will be the beneficiary of Whole Foods Market One Dime at a Time Fundraiser.

One Dime at a Time allows Whole Foods customers to accept their refund, or direct the cashier to donate the cash to the store's chosen non-profit through the registers at Whole Foods Market. This program supports a local non-profit and reduces the community’s impact on the environment at the same time. 

Starting April 1st 2014, Whole Foods Market South Evanston will collect dime donations to benefit Young Evanston Artists, a nonprofit volunteer driven organization whose mission is to provide the children of Evanston with a unique forum and experience for the exhibition and performance of their art. 

The 27th annual YEA! Day, to be held Saturday May 17th, 2014, serves as the culminating arts event for many Evanston schools and invigorates their arts programs throughout the year.
