This November 10-11, Good360 is hosting the Corporate Summit on Product Philanthropy in Monterey, California. As part of the conference, San Francisco Bay Area artist Eve Donovan is creating a “Tree of Knowledge”—a life-sized sculpture of a tree, made out of recycled and recyclable materials, to showcase the attendees’ commitment to their knowledge in the charitable sector and also Good360’s continued growth as a nonprofit product-giving leader.
Eve Donovan is a Bay Area-based artist who branched out into creating found and 3 dimensional works of art after more than 20 years of painting and printmaking. She creates mixed media works from street, yard sale and salvage finds, and other inspiring miscellany. The "Tree of Knowledge" is created primarily from salvaged resources; wood, including a few broomsticks; a metal tripod base; the inner wire from a box spring; and paper. Additional key elements that complete the piece are sisal rope, mini takeout boxes, screws, nails, and a few pints of paint.
The tree sculpture will be interactive and will be exhibited in Good360’s Interactive Room during the summit. “This conference is designed to educate corporate leaders from across the country on the benefits of product giving,” said Cindy Hallberlin, President and CEO of Good360. “Trees have been central to our organization’s branding, and we are hoping that this sculpture will encourage summit attendees to participate in our Interactive Break Room.”
Participants at the summit will be asked to make a pledge that showcases a commitment (e.g. networking, go greener, education, less waste, resource planning, etc…) and will write a word or two about their pledges on recycled paper. The pledges will then hang on the tree in place of a USB stick containing tools and information on how companies can implement product donation programs. “This transfer will emulate the aspect of a tree's annual change and growth cycle, as well as create an evolving visual interest,” said Eve Donovan.
Following the summit, the tree will be moved and displayed in Good360’s Alexandria, VA. office with the corresponding pledges hanging on the branches.
