My Own Two Hands is the primary fundraiser for the music and arts programs of SFF in the Sisters schools and community. Proceeds from MOTH enable SFF to directly support all forms of music and arts programming in the Sisters School District, grades K 3 12, along with the innovative and award-winning <Americana Project.= All artwork presented in the MOTH auction is donated by generous artists who under- stand the value of arts in the lives of every child, and are willing to back that up by donating their own time and works of art. On Friday, May 10 the MOTH parade will kick off the celebration. Students parade their <We All Belong= themed artwork on Hood Avenue, starting at 4 p.m. at Spruce Street and ending at Oak Street.
