Chalk Art Family Festival Supports Local Charity

August 26, 2015
Families and artists of all ages are invited to Chalk It Up For Love on Saturday, Sept. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Campbelltown United Methodist Church in Palmyra. Admission to the event is FREE.

During Chalk It Up For Love, artists age 4 and up are invited to decorate their space with art reflecting the theme of love. A $5 registration fee includes chalk and a 38x50-inch space to draw. Prizes will awarded in various categories and guidelines can be found at www.PillowsofLove.com.

The event will also include an array of family activities, including face painting and games. All of the family activities will be FREE. Food will be available for purchase.

Chalk It Up For Love will benefit Pillows of Love, a non-profit organization located in Palmyra, which provides homemade pillowcases to crisis shelters for women and children in Lebanon, Dauphin and Lancaster Counties. Over the last 10 years, the ministry of Pillows of Love has created and distributed approximately 38,000 pillowcases for women and children in crisis in Central Pennsylvania. 


Artist registration is available online at www.PillowsofLove.com. Participants may also register the day of the event, but chalk spaces are limited.

Pillowcases will be available for purchase at the event. Each purchased pillowcase will fund the creation of two additional pillowcases.

Businesses or individuals are invited to show their support through sponsorship opportunities, which are listed on the Pillows of Love website.
