A 2013 oil painting, of a majestic bald eagle swooping down over crystal blue water, sold for nearly a quarter million dollars this weekend at the Carter Center’s annual fund-raising auction.
The 2023 Carter Center Weekend raised $2,392,385 in donations and auction sales to support the Center’s work for peace and health worldwide. The annual fundraiser, held June 21-25 at the Loews Atlanta Hotel and The Carter Center, included live and silent auctions, as well as a town hall with the Center’s senior leadership, presentations by staff, and a variety of events focused on Atlanta history.
“We were thrilled to have so many loyal supporters come to our hometown for Carter Center Weekend for the first time in its 31 years,” said CEO Paige Alexander. “Their generosity will help us improve health, protect human rights, advance democracy, and address mental health around the world.”
