Borb the Spokesbird

by Toni Scott

It’s a bird, it’s an orb, it’s a Borb! In celebration of Opera Mariposa’s 11th annual Benefit + Awareness event, Toni Scott has created this illustration featuring Mariposa’s own avian mascot, Borb the opera bird, decked out in the Awareness ribbons for ME and fibromyalgia.

You can now find this exclusive design on Borby merch in our online shop – and best of all, 100% of the proceeds support the ME | FM Society of BC!
