Please click here to buy tickets online


The Arc of Midland partnered with Northeast Middle School students to obtain designs for creating this quilt! After giving students a theme of diversity, humanity and friendship each original design was drawn in black & white, combining the 6th, 7th, & 8th graders ideas. A special thank you to Ship Gunnar at Northeast and the entire student body !!! The designs were then fabricated from multiple quilting fabrics.
This quilt would look fabulous in your home, office, school, business, or community agency. The proceeds will benefit the Arc of Midland, a local non profit assisting people with developmental disabilities! Thank you to Dr. Lisa Davis for donating her time and creativity, and quilting this one of a kind piece of artwork to benefit The Arc of Midland! Tickets will be sold at a number of businesses and agencies in the community.

United Way is an important partner in the work that we do. In an effort to help United Way reach the goal of raising $5,000,000 this year, we are participating in a pop can drive and a "change for change" campaign. Please bring your loose change and pop cans to our annual meeting on October 20th so that we can show the power of our membership when it is time to help out! The Arc of Midland has already begun collecting money from the people they serve during the United Way Campaign.
