Blackhawks Fans at an Official Blackhawks Bar http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=57901#chicago

March of Dimes [www.marchofdimes.org] 
 
WHAT:
Elliott From of ArtBeat Live! will perform his engaging, live painting experience after the first period of Game Three of the Blackhawks v Flyers series of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals at an Official Blackhawks Bar, Mahoney's Pub & Grille.  His unique blend of painting on a 4 foot x 5 foot canvas with acrylic paints using his hands and brushes to the beat of a relevant song will have the audience on their feet.  He will be painting a Blackhawks logo to the Hawks goal song "Chelsea Dagger", which the Blackhawks had him do live before the first home playoff game against the Nashville Predators in April.

WHY:

The painting will be auctioned off after the second period to the highest bidder, and proceeds from those funds will go to the March of Dimes, the house charity for the "Beards for Babies" Beard-a-thon fundraiser being held at Mahoney's until the winning team takes the Stanley Cup!  ArtBeat Live! paintings have been auctioned off for as much as $22,000, so there's no telling just how much could be raised for the March of Dimes.
