Mother’s Day Art Exhibit Art Contest

Southern California Brachial Plexus Network (SCBPN) is hosting a Mother’s Day Brunch and Art Exhibit on Saturday, May 1, 2004. The brunch will include an art exhibit displaying artwork from children with Brachial Plexus Injuries (BPI). The children’s exhibit at the 2002 Art Exhibit was such a huge success; we decided to make it our main focus.
