that allow the by-products of my labor and
talent to benefit others.
I have visited many of these organizations and
witnessed first-hand the great work of the people
doing the hands on work of these charities. While
I am constantly asked to donate to a seemingly
endless list of causes; I have been able to
concentrate my support for several organizations
involved in a wide array of activities both inside
and out of the thoroughbred racing industry.
While I have made a conscious decision to work
full time in the sport of horse racing, I am able to
contribute to causes that benefit four major areas:
The reward for answering a solicitation
request is the “exposure” the artist
receives by having their artwork at
these events.
The artist GIVES because he or she WANTS to
GIVE to a select cause that is important to that
artist. In my experience as the head of several art
organizations and as the host of a public
television show on the arts, I’ve seen more artists
who could benefit from a fund raiser than any
other ‘profession’. With all that being said I can
proudly say that it is my pleasure and my privilege
to be able to contribute to the people and horses
in this great thoroughbred industry and look
forward to continuing to do so as long as positive
work can be accomplished for the common good.
