April 16, 2008. Run for Research Benefit to stomp out Hepatitis and Liver Disease. Hosted by Dr. Anthony Chen who will be running the Boston Marathon this year in honor of those who have died from Hepatitis or Liver cancer. I will be displaying my artwork at the Malden Dockside on 229 Centre St. where 50% of ALL art sales will be donated in support of Anthony's race to prevent, detect, and cure hepatitis and other liver diseases. The benefit is from 6-9pm. Tons of other raffles and prizes will be offered as well.

I'd also like to note that for the "The Run for Research" benefit on April 16th at the Dockside in Malden, I'm opening up a window of time from April 9th to April 23rd where if customers buy something from me and mention "The Run for Research" benefit, I will still donate 50% of the sale to the Liver Foundation. That way, you walk away with an original piece of artwork and at the same time you have the satisfatction of knowing that half of your money is being donated to benefit a great cause! This goes for ALL art sales bought through my studio including original oil paintings, photo prints, canvas giclee prints, commission work, etc!!! Also, The Dockside is graciously donating 10% of ALL of their dine in or take out sales that night to the cause, so please come down, have a bite to eat, and take in the artwork!
