Here are a few of the ones that made an impact on me Lori because I'm the President of Board Rescue a non-profit working on a second skateboard art show, when you think you've done as much as you can think again you can do more and if you want folks to help. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Lori Butterworth Sustaining Compassion: A Nonprofit Story
Lori has founded two award-winning, nationally recognized non-profit organizations, which have dramatically improved care for thousands of children with life-threatening conditions.

Bruce Lee My Vertical Gift: What The Cliffs of Big Sur Taught Me
After graduating Augusta State University, with highest honors, Bruce picked up and moved directly to Santa Cruz where he began a decades-long career creating paintings, sculpture, and performance art in Santa Cruz and the surrounding Bay Area.
Having abandoned painting in the 80s and 90s for the immediacy of the moment in dance and theater works, Bruce has discovered the equally mesmerizing dance of immediacy: trying to capture a changing landscape on canvas. He was one of the first recipients of the Gail Rich award in 1998. In addition to painting, his media include projection design, set design, and dance theater. His work has been exhibited and honored in many venues in the bay area, including SF MOMA, Cabrillo College, UCSC, Henry Mello Center, Santa Clara University, Laney College, Santa Cruz Art League, The Bulkhead Gallery, Dancing Man Gallery, Davenport Gallery, and more.
