We believe in giving back to our community by supporting charitable organizations that are making a difference in the world. Every month we are donating all of the profits from a specific design to a designated non-profit organization that is working hard to make the world a better place.

I have had very close friends and family who have battled various types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other physical ailments. I have been with them as they have fought for their lives. The pain and suffering these diseases cause to both the victims of these diseases and their loved ones is often unbearable.

A few months ago I attended a funeral, where I listened to the wails of a mother who lost her son, who was barely an adult, to diabetes. It was a horror that will stay with me forever. In November, National Diabetes Awareness Month, we will donate the profits from a design to the American Diabetes Association in Brandon’s honor. I have another friend whose very young son was diagnosed with diabetes as an infant. I never want to get another text from a hospital pediatric ward while her young son is fighting for his life. Please help make a difference to these families and countless others just like them.

If Front Range Studio can make any difference, no matter how small, then we are obliged to try. We are realistic, we have to keep the lights on, and we are honestly hoping to make some money on the venture. Personally, I want to provide the best education I can for my children, BUT, if I can create jobs within my community, promote manufacturing within the United States, and build a company that gives to charities that are making a difference in the world, then that’s what I am going to do!

Next month, February, is American Heart Month. I am working on a design in the shape of a heart and all profits are going to be donated to the American Heart Association. I implore all of you assist us in this cause and maybe we can reduce the amount of suffering in our world around us.

As always, warmest regards,

Laurie
