Starfish Foundation – New Site Launched

The Starfish Foundation supports our military veterans and their emotional healing through sponsoring the Vets Journey Home program, a non-profit program staffed entirely by volunteers. One hundred percent of the funds raised go to program delivery, making it possible for veterans to attend at no cost.

The Starfish Foundation has funded $250,000 worth of scholoarships as of 12/2010. The funds have gone directly to:

  • Veterans to help them deal with the trauma of military situations through the Bamboo Bridgeand Vets Journey Home programs.
  • Sexual abuse survivors to help them deal with that extreme trauma and move forward in their lives through the Renewal weekend.
  • Others that have experienced various trauma in their lives through the Taking It Lightlyweekend.

I’ve worked with both the Starfish Foundation and the Vets Journey Home for the last 5 years; as both a web and graphic designer; as well as photographer and videographer. We launched the Vets Journey Home new web site in the last quarter of 2009; and launched the newly designed Starfish Foundation web site July 25th.

Please take a look at these new sites and seriously consider donating to these dedicated 100% volunteer organizations. They provide very important and high quality services for people who really need them; just check out the testimonials.

Not for Profit

Some of my efforts go to “not for profit” groups. I’ve developed logos and am currently developing a web site for T:AP (Transcend: Art and Peace). A fellow T:AP member just sent this wonderful link, where we find César López building guitars out of AK-47 assault rifles. Imagine all the weapons in the world converted to musical instruments for 2008. Was a bomb. Now a drum. Happy dancing, peaceful New Year!

Don’t forget Seth Tyler’s sculptural use of hand guns (also my photography and web site design). Let’s ship Seth all those tanks and armored vehicles and see what he can do with them.

Another link, Still Point Zen Center, also shows some logo development as well as a newsletter design. And while we’re on this non-profit subject some of my logo and web work can also be found at Center for Community Stewardship and minimal efforts at The Starfish Foundation. Each of these organizations deserves whatever support we can offer.
