Ripple Effect Reception

Original AWAKE artwork

Each year AWAKE Community artists create as a way to express and educate through the arts. We are currently looking for individuals or organizations to display the Ripple Effect sculpture, and purchase or sponsor the valuable artwork our fine artists have produced. By supporting AWAKE art you become part of the effort and part of the lineage of this historic effort. Contact info@awakecommunity.org or call (858) 677-0044 for more information.

Patrick J Flanders Memorial Golf Tournament

This years PJF memorial golf tournament donated proceeds to AWAKE community and helped greatly in producing the Ripple Effect Reception. Golf is a great way to bring people together and memorialize the lives of Annie Richards and Patrick Flanders II. This year AWAKE Community Director John Jones took the top prize with the lowest score.

editorial

"What marching through the streets was to the sixties, walking through the halls of Congress is today." ~Marianne Williamson

One key, for one life, each year, ripples beyond sight and time.

This year's AWAKE Capitol Hill reception featured a sculpture made from 17,000 keys in the shape of a water drop forming a ripple.

The art piece was designed by Tom Cinquini, Vanessa Rathbun, and Cheryl Richards and created with the help of Brad Richards, Annie Richards' brother. Driven across the U.S. from Portland to Washington D.C., this creative work aimed to educate and give awareness to the impaired driving prevention cause.

Please take the time to listen to the speeches, look at the pictures, and contact us if you'd like to help support future efforts.

Like many resources in the U.S., we share the same roads. Let's make them safer together.

Don't drink and drive.

AWAKE thanks the artists, our sponsors, and the Congressional offices that made the Ripple Effect event possible.

We look forward to sharing our journey with the world.

Live Responsibly,
Jason
