20% of all Artwork Sales Will Be Donated to the Lucy Fund
The Lucy Fund was started in 2008 when Lucy Stanovick, at 42 years old, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. At that time, stage IV patients were considered a lost cause. Since then Lucy learned that there is hope.
Researchers are working on ways to make this a controlled, chronic disease, but the necessary resources are lacking. Currently less than 1% of all cancer research money goes to metastatic research.
The Lucy Fund and NFCR are determined to raise awareness and funds specifically for stage IV breast cancer research.
Since 1978, George Rothacker has owned Rothacker Advertising & Design, a firm that today specializes in creating coordinated marketing campaigns using multimedia campaigns to creatively promote businesses and organizations throughout the country.
He is the designer of the “Media – Everybody’s Hometown” logo, and the artist responsible for the Picture Palaces Calendar that raised money for the Community Arts Center, the Media Fellowship House, and the Delaware County Historical Society in 2003, and which featured his theater paintings including the Media Theatre.
In addition to the videos he produces for businesses, Mr. Rothacker has produced several documentaries including, in 2005, a history of discrimination and diversity in the United States entitled “America in Black and White and Many Colors,” and in 2008, “Words of the Heart,” the story of Thomas Garrett and his great, great niece Dorothy Biddle James, both of whom fought for human rights throughout their lives.
George will be having a retrospect of 45 years of work at the Villanova Gallery in May, 2016.
