The Bad Fruit Foundation will also be handing out Wellness Kits to all visitors. These "swag bags" contain a variety of useful health-orientated information and first aid supplies.Art walkers will also have the opportunity to memorialize loved ones in the Day of the Dead tradition by adding to the temporary ofrenda on site.BFF has a simple goal: To support Seattle-area creative types (including artists, comics, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, painters, photographers, poets, sculptors, singers and writers) who are facing life-altering illnesses and are un- or under- insured. Their assistance comes through advocacy, distribution of wellness kits and special events and benefit shows. In 2008, BFF will launch a new inter-active website with details on health care options for artists (and others). For more information go to www.badfruitfoundation.com
