Worldwide Auction of Miss Universe Contestants’ Artwork
to Benefit Charity Providing Medical Treatment to Kids
Artwork Auction Site: www.PaintLV.com
Some of the world’s most beautiful women did their part. Now it’s your chance to help children who face life threatening medical conditions.
Eighty nine contestants in the 2012 MISS UNIVERSE® Competition graciously put a brush to canvas–some for the first time– and completed a work of art under the direction of Rachel Roberts, owner of Las Vegas-based Design & Wine Eat • Drink • Paint.
Now the artwork of each contestant is available for sale to successful bidders around the world. The proceeds from the auction will benefit Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing treatment to all children facing catastrophic diseases with or without medical insurance.
The auction takes place December 14, 2012 through January 14, 2013 at www.PaintLV.com. The winning bidder will receive the signed artwork, along with a signed headshot of the Miss Universe contestant who created it.
Design & Wine Eat • Drink • Paint offers a step by step process that allows even those without a known painting ability to create a work of art.
“Most people are amazed at how simple it is to complete their own painting once they sit down in front of the canvas, relax a bit and are provided with all the tools they need,” said Rachel Roberts, Owner of Design & Wine Eat • Drink • Paint.
The Miss Universe competition will broadcast live from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas tomorrow, Wednesday, December 19, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
