Out of the Box "Under the Sea" Art Camp Fundraiser for Raven, Age 3

By Erin Stolle, Publisher/Editor - Macaroni Kid Alpharetta-Roswell-Milton April 29, 2019

Join Out of the Box Art Studio in their "Under the Sea" Art Camp fundraiser as part of the "Creating for a Cause - Creating for Raven” initiative to help support Raven and her family.

Raven Nell Raines was born on 12-10-15 with critical congenital heart defects and other severe medical issues.  In the past 3 years, she has had 18 surgical procedures, including 8 heart surgeries. This Spring, Raven is in Egleston Children’s Hospital for several months recovering from surgery and an infection, with plans for another surgery.




The needs are significant for Raven’s family. Her parents, Mike and Ruthie, also have a daughter, 4-year-old Piper, who is not allowed to be at the hospital. They live with Ruthie’s parents, Joe and Nell Estes, because of the extenuating circumstances of finances, Piper’s care and hospital schedules.  

From Out of the Box Art Studio Owner Juli McGill:

"The teachers and I are so excited to donate time to create a wonderful camp this Summer to help raise funds for the family of Raven. Our “ Under the Sea” Art Camp will be a 4-day camp where campers will create in clay/ceramic, canvas, acrylic mixed media, watercolor and more in one of our most popular camp themes to kick the summer off. In addition, campers will also be creating a special “art card” to send to Raven! Help your child experience the joy of art, giving and kindness."

Camp Dates/Times:  May 28th - 31st, 1:30 - 4:30 PM 

Camp Location: Legacy Academy 5390 Flynn Crossing Drive Alpharetta, GA 30005

Pricing: $85 and all proceeds will be donated to Raven's fund to help with medical costs and family needs. Thank you for your support!
