Doug Donates Artwork to Auction Benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project

Doug donated 2 limited edition prints and a pencil/ink sketch to the Saturday evening, May 19 Live Art & Auction Event benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.  He volunteered to work during the auction so bidders could watch him do a classic Sneyd bunny profile sketch.

Before the live auction started, event coordinator Tamyra Earehart, Retired Air Force/Wounded Warrior Alumni, talked with Doug in the hotel lounge.

The silent auction featured a good selection of original artwork and limited edition prints.

The live auction was held in the lounge at the Aloft Las Colinas.

Event organizers hoped to raise $2-3,000.00 for the Wounded Warrior Project; thanks to a great effort by the evening's auctioneer (far right), a little over $11,000 was raised.
