"Never doubt that small groups of committed people can change the world.
In fact, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
The Coastside Doctors Without Borders Art Auction features very generous Coastside artists who create work specifically for this event.
This year 2014, founder and organizer Judy Shintani, and the committee are taking a sabbatical. We look forward to coming back in 2015 with renewed energy! Please continue to help Doctors Without Borders tis year by donating on our online page.
Why Doctors Without Borders?
We do this annual benefit for Doctors Without Borders because their work is based on the humanitarian principles of medical ethics and impartiality. Doctors Without Borders operates independent of any political, military, or religious agendas. The key to their ability to act independently in response to a crisis is their independent funding. One-hundred percent of the USA branch funding comes from private sources, not governments. In 2006, there were more than three million individual donors and private funders worldwide. The artists associated with this Coastside event, including organizer Judy Shintani, are committed to making sure their important work continues. Doctors Without Borders is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations associated with this event are deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
