Giving Back

I have always believed in paying it forward...backward,...and sideways.  I am blessed and I know it, but my gift has not made me wealthy financially.  I have a talent and great friends and family, including hundreds of friends on the internet.
Therein lies my wealth...

I have given about 15-20% of my income back annually to wonderful organizations for pets, including Labrador Life Line, Sparro, The National Association for Search and Rescue, and recently Support Dogs of St. Louis.  I have donated prints and originals for the last 25 or so years to Ducks Unlimited, Tony LaRussa's ARF Foundation, and tens of other smaller groups.   I am also now donating to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

Artists are always approached by non-profits for donations, and we are always ready to help, but most of us have either chosen our charities already, or are already tapped-out.

HOWEVER...I have developed a new program whereby you can help your own favorite charities, while helping yourself.  For every original portrait that you order, you may deduct $50 from my cost, and send that $50 to your own charity.

I will then include a link to that charity on the "Links" page on Labrador-Art.

Thank you for not contacting me for every organization needing help, though I wish I could help them all.

I applaud every foster family and every rescuer out there.  Thank you for all that you do!
