They 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.
