Who ever said luck falls into one’s lap? Pish. We Irish make our own luck! While deciding not to postpone this research trip another year to complete another round of grants, I’ve geared up to use private funds to fulfill this pursuit. I’ve been working hard, saving my pennies. But I’ve also delved into the world of fundraising. Over these summer months, I’ve pursued corporate sponsorships, both on a local and national level. I’ve hand-made a limited edition of Celtic knot charms to reward individual patrons. And I’ve applied to post my project on Kickstarter.com.
Thank you to my first corporate sponsor (but hopefully not my last)— The Society of American Silversmiths! And a big thank you to my many individual patrons. You can find their names listed on the Patrons page of my website.
If you would like to support this pursuit (and get your “name in lights” as a Patron, hehe), please check out the Donation page on the website (www.atabacchi.com), my Facebook page, or contact me in person.
