My name is Michael Saccio, a fellow IATSE member and I am
putting a children’s art book together for charity to benefit the
Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund co-chaired by ex-President Bill
Clinton and Bob Dole, which benefits any child who lost a parent on The
Sept. 11th attacks. The name of the book is called "Visions
of Freedom" and it consists of drawings on 81/2 x 11 pieces
of paper of "what freedom means to me "and poems of "what
freedom means to me”. The medium is one of the classes choices.
We Have just begun on this journey and have enrolled the schools in
upstate N.Y. and N.Y.C. And the feedback has been heartfelt. It would be
an honor to have your school participate in this adventure, We are accepting artwork From k-12 so if this excites
you I would love to have you champion this project in your school.
The web site for the fund is familiesoffreedom.org
they are a wonderful organization and every dollar gained goes to
these children's education.
January marked the first month that scholarships were given out and
to ensure these
children get the education they deserve it will not only be philanthropy
that is needed but
special projects like this one. This book will not only provide money in
the end but a chance for everyone who participates to bring to the
forefront Freedom, and what does It really mean to each and every
individual child.
