Art for Cure, a non-profit organization, was founded by Jennifer Carr Patrizio, Jennifer Tisch, and Bob Stockfield. The two Jennifer's are my friends and fellow young breast cancer survivors. I was contacted by Jen and Jen to participate in the calendar by having a photo of me appear in it! How exciting!
Jennifer Carr Patrizio is a five year breast cancer survivor and a two year leukemia survivor. Jennifer Tisch is a two-time breast cancer survivor. Together, with freelance photographer Bob Stockfield, they have created a beautiful calendar called Life Blooms Desk Calendar.
The Life Blooms Desk Calendar is a month-at-a-glance format, features breathtaking photography of pink flora and motivational prose on one side, and candid photography of breast cancer survivors on the back. You can purchase the calendar for $20.
Art for Cure's goal is to raise funds through sales of artwork created by survivors and donate the proceeds to organizations whose missions are in support of survivorship issues and/or advancing toward cure. They are striving to create a channel that will easily enable survivors to donate, promote, and market their works that will give them recognition and a way to use their creativity for charitable purposes
Art for Cure's Mission Statement:
Believing in the celebration of life and survivorship, Art for Cure encourages survivors of chronic and/or life-threatening disease to tell their stories through art. Art for Cure supports cure-based and other organizations dedicated to survivorship issues through the promotion and sales of artwork.
