Art for Life broke all previous records for the event, raising over $1 million dollars for health services. EduTechnologic, along with funding support from The Ohio State University, was proud to develop and share a custom iOS and Android mobile experience for the event, as well as volunteer onsite at the event.
Two prints from Keith Haring and a lithograph by Joan Miro were acquired for $150,000 and then immediately donated to the permanent collection at the Columbus Museum of Art.
“The generosity of the Columbus community never ceases to amaze me,” said Bill Hardy, president and CEO of Equitas Health. “When you are mission-obsessed like we are, it is an incredibly powerful affirmation to witness such an outpouring of support. We are deeply grateful.” Source, PRIZM News.
The mobile application was developed as a lookbook with preparation tools, and contained primary information about the facility. For this event we also included Push Notifications, a new map of the facility and an Augmented Reality Experience.
EduTechnologic has a long track record of community support and were grateful that we could contribute to this event, said Brad Henry CEO of EduTechnologic. “It takes a dedicated team of individuals who are as passionate as I am to make these project happen. I could not ask for anything more. My team always amazes me. “
Founded in 1989, Art for Life is a biennial art auction that has helped raise more than $4 million in support of Equitas Health’s primary care, specialized HIV care, specialized LGBTQ healthcare, HIV social services, prevention, dental, behavioral health and advocacy services.
Event proceeds enable Equitas Health to provide a welcoming healthcare home; all of its services are offered on a sliding fee scale, reducing barriers to care and ensuring that access to healthcare is possible for all.
