GAINESVILLE, Fla., Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Pablove Foundation and Fracture are proud to announce an exciting new collaboration to benefit research for childhood cancer.
The Pablove Foundation’s Shutterbugs program teaches kids living with cancer to develop their creative voice through the art of photography.
On February 15, in honor of International Childhood Cancer Day, Fracture will launch the Shutterbugs Collection, featuring inspiring photography from Shutterbugs graduates printed on Fracture’s signature glass prints. All profits from this collection will be used to fund a research grant to support the fight against childhood cancer.
“The Fracture team is humbled by the talent, creativity, and resilience of each of these young photographers,” says Fracture CEO, Abhi Lokesh. “It’s truly an honor to be able to work alongside The Pablove Foundation to empower these kids to share their art with the world, while also raising funds and awareness in the fight against childhood cancer.”
The Shutterbugs Collection features original images by 9 different photographers, between the ages of 7-20, who participated in the program. Their exceptional work ranges from bright and inspiring to subtle and contemplative, showing the unique talent and perspective of each photographer.
“The Shutterbugs program was an important part of my cancer journey,” says 10 year-old Colby, who took the class twice while bravely battling B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. “I learned so many things about photography, it helped me express what I was feeling and it was also a fun distraction from all my hard treatments. I love taking photos!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to collaborate with Fracture,” says Pablove CEO, Kerstin Lynam. “Fracture glass prints are perfect to add to the immediacy and brilliance of each image; they reveal a child’s distinct emotion and point of view. It becomes clear as glass that these young artists are always squeezing more out of each moment. What a powerful reminder to all of us.”
The Pablove Foundation is a leading non-profit with its two-prong mission fighting childhood cancer with both art and science. Their Shutterbugs program celebrates its 11th year and their Powered by Pablove research grants program has surpassed a net-total funding impact of over $16M in improving care for childhood cancers.
