Today is our last day at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. We’ve had the artwork up for 6 days now and have been selling to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Last night, I attended the MDA pre-telethon gala and signed posters for the gala guests.
This morning, i appeared on the NY regional broadcast of the MDA Telethon. We rolled the tote board and talked to some donors. There’s an inspirational feel in that room today….watching the board change…hearing the stories of so many people who are affected by Muscular Dystrophy.
It’s gratifying to be able to use my artwork as a vehicle to raise money for those in need…but sometimes it’s overwhelming…there is so much need. But all we can do is try to cure the diseases and support the families….one dollar at a time.
Happy Labor Day!

I’m working with Mohegan Sun, the amazing casino and entertainment resort built by the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut. Mohegan Sun hosts the New York telecast of the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. As part of the celebration, I’m setting up a week-long exhibition of my work on the main concourse of the resort…..also to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We’ll be there September 2nd through the 7th for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
I’m proud to be a National Vice President of the MDA. It’s an organization that’s close to my heart. I’ve worked with kids stricken with these terrible diseases and i’m always looking for ways to stay involved and to raise funds.
On Sunday night, Mohegan Sun will also host a fantastic event. It’s called “Party with a Purpose” and it’s a huge pre-telethon bash benefitting MDA in their main ballroom…dinner, cocktails, dancing, and more! I’ll be showing my work there too. Tickets to the event are $80. It’s a great cause and we’ll have a great time. Come and join me there! You can buy tickets by calling 203-248-6500 or by visiting the Mohegan Sun Box Office.
Oh…and I almost forgot…i’ll be unveiling a brand new piece created exclusively for Mohegan Sun!
