Art Auction Success!
US Digital Partners and friends raise $1500 for local charity.
CINCINNATI – Final Friday on February 27 in Over-the-Rhine involved the meshing of two fun events: the touring of all the open art galleries, studios, and shops and Bockfest, Cincinnati’s annual celebration of its European roots and Bock beer. A parade down Main Street with an 18-foot “Trojan Goat” kicked the night off.
In a collaborative effort with St. Peter Claver Latin School for Boys, a tiny Catholic grade school attached to Old St. Mary’s Church, US Digital Partners – in association with Al. Neyer, Inc., Fawn Confectionary, and Creative Department – hosted a fundraiser for the school in the form of an art auction. The little boys’ artwork, from grades kindergarten through fifth grade, was neatly matted and hung on US Digital Partners walls. Visitors could come to peruse the “gallery,” and place bids on pieces of artwork.
Hundreds of visitors poured into USDP offices on this night. Everyone was in high spirits; some visitors, including City Councilman Jim Tarbell, were even dressed in Bockfest costumes. Approximately $1500 were raised for the fledgling St. Peter Claver School: a real testimony to the generosity of so many visitors who believe in the importance of fine education for Over-the-Rhine’s young boys.

Church opens new school to focus on boys
Over-the-Rhine institution to stress leadership, values
By Cindy Kranz, The Cincinnati Enquirer
Boys in Over-the-Rhine have been beaten down so long that the Rev. Albert Lauer figured it was time to tell them they are not a lost cause.
They can be great leaders, he says, and if they attend his parish's new St. Peter Claver Boys' Latin School, they are expected to be successful.
