Ballroom Marfa hosted a raffle to benefit the Haiti earthquake relief effort. We sold 102 tickets, raising $2040 for Doctors Without Borders, an international medical humanitarian organization that provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need.

Our winner received a limited-edition artwork by Matthew Day Jackson entitled Sculpture for My Right Hand, 2007. The work consists of an intricately detailed set of silver brass knuckles inscribed with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt along the outer edge, which reads “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” The piece, which is one in an edition of forty, comes housed in a hand-tooled leather holster with a traditional western wear bandana.
