BRINK hold eBay Auction to Raise Funds for Kenilworth Lions

BRINK is auctioning an oak sculpture of a lion, by chainsaw artist Mark Begley, in aid of Kenilworth Lions.

Mark, who previously worked as a tree surgeon, turned his hand, by chance, to chainsaw sculpting early this year and since then has dedicated himself entirely to his practice.

The oak lion, which was made during the first Art on the Edge contemporary art show, held at the Lions Grand Show in Kenilworth this summer, has been donated to BRINK by the Coventry-based artist to raise money for the cause.

 “Kenilworth Lions has been supporting local charities for over forty-years. Due to the current economic climate, many of these organisations are now under threat and the Lions helps many of these charities to thrive.  This is why we feel it is so important to support an organisation that provides such valuable services in the community, particularly to the elderly and the more vulnerable people in our society. As well as the Waverly Day Centre, the Stroke Club, PHAB and many others, the Lions Club has also supported BRINK in the past and we felt that we wanted to give something back.”, states BRINK Co-Founder Sarah Silver.


The ten-day charity auction will go live on 1st October 2011 and all proceeds will be donated to the Kenilworth Lions. A  link to the eBay page will be published on the BRINK website on the launch date of the auction: www.wix.com/brinkevents/home.
