The 2nd annual nationwide BeCause Our Hearts Beat Art Auction will be Saturday, Feb. 22 from 4-6:30 p.m. at 3338 Trickum Road in Woodstock. The event will raise support for Make-A-Wish®. Preschoolers at The Learning Experience® (TLE®), the country’s fastest-growing early learning academy for children 6 weeks to 6 years old, are participating by creating “heart” art and selling it to benefit Make-A-Wish®. Over the past two years, TLE® has raised more than $500,000 for the organization that grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions. TLE® will match all proceeds from the auction to the foundation. More info: www.thelearningexperience.com.
