Dianne Brainard has a soft spot in her heart for the Arbor Hospice Foundation, which cared for her mother and sister.
That's why the Ann Arbor artist donated three works, including "Flower Burst," a one-of-a-kind antique, hand-painted table, to the nonprofit organization's upcoming "Dine & Dash" fundraiser.
The Oct. 23 event, showcasing hundreds of works by Brainard and other local artists, sounds like great fun for a great cause. Here's how it works:
After a gourmet dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. at Ann Arbor's Travis Pointe Country Club, guests' names are drawn and the dash is on for a work of art of their choice. Every couple goes home with a piece valued at $250 or more. Also in the mix: a raffle and auction.
Patron tickets are $350 per couple (good for one dash); benefactor tickets are $500 per couple (good for one dash plus recognition at the event). Tables of eight are available for $1,600 (four can dash).

The nonprofit Arbor Hospice Foundation provides end-of-life and grief support services to children, adolescents and adults in seven Michigan counties.
