Every May, Wingspan celebrates our mission at our Power of Love Gala and silent auction, and included in the silent auction are amazing gourd birdhouses painted by our volunteers! All auction proceeds go toward funding the many arts, music, and cultural activities that our clients- youth and adults impacted by developmental and other disabilities- love!
If you're interested in taking home one or more gourd birdhouses to paint, please email our Marketing & Community Engagement Specialist, Keller Karlstrom, at kkarlstrom@wingspanlife.org to coordinate pickup at our Plato Blvd office. You can really make this opportunity your own by doing it on your own time and getting as creative as you like! All birdhouses should be finished by April 1st, 2026. You can provide a title for your art if you like, and be sure to sign the bottom of your gourd as the artist. We will varnish them and put handles on.
