ACCESS’ first-ever Big Easel fundraiser offered our supporters a casual, on-campus event and raised more than $8,000 for ACCESS programs and services. Attendees enjoyed a student artwork auction, live music, drinks, hors d’oeuvres by Cheers, and the chance to enjoy the ACCESS Gardens and new therapy gym at this New Orleans-inspired party.

A special thank you to chairwoman Catherine Corless, attorney for Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, P.L.L.C., and the following sponsors: Delta Trust and Vivint, N’awlins sponsors; The Wren Law Firm, French Quarter sponsor; and Floral Express and Party City, gifts in-kind sponsors.

With such positive response for this new event, The Big Easel is slated to enjoy a second go-round in October.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Callie Gutierrez at 501-217-8600 or callie@accessgroupinc.org for more information.
