Helping Out Henryville
On March 2, 2012, the town of Henryville, Indiana was virtually destroyed by a powerful F4 tornado.  Henryville schools were devastated by this tragic event.   The Art Education Association of Indiana is raising funds to help replace the art materials that were lost on that terrible day. 

Please consider donating $5, $10, $25, or $50 to this worthy cause.  When purchasing from United Art and Education, you can add a donation into your order or donate separately. United Art and Education will add additional funds to help maximize the impact of your generous gift.  You will receive a record of your donation when you checkout.
