<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align=left>In 2009, Seedlings was awarded a wonderful grant from the Art Van Foundation which enabled us to place hundreds of new braille books into the hands of children. Now Art Van is having an online charity challenge, and the winning charities will be awarded up to $25,000 which would allow us to do so much more!</P>
