PORTRAITS WITH A PURPOSE
Strathmore® is very excited to announce new products that help support a wonderful non-profit organization. Available this fall, two NEW limited edition pads, which feature bright pink covers and beautiful portraits. One pad will be made from Strathmore’s traditional 300 Series Sketch paper, and the other will feature the Desert Rose Strathmore Artagain® paper. 5% of the Strathmore profits from sales of these pads will be donated to In My Father’s Eyes, a 503 (c) 3 non-profit organization that works with children who are fighting a life threatening disease or who have lost their battle. The goal is to help these children focus on their beauty instead of their illness, and to provide their families with a lifetime of memories through an heirloom portrait.
Each portrait takes approximately 30 to 40 hours to complete. Artists lend their time, but you can give the gift of hope. Donations provide funding for items such as art supplies, framing, and shipping costs. Consider sponsoring a portrait with a donation. You can learn more at: www.InMyFathersEyesPortraits.com

Pink pads are featured on an introduction promotion, which runs through Strathmore’s Holiday promotion September 12, 2016 to November 4, 2016. Stores might consider adding this program to their stores for October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but supporting this great cause isn’t limited to just one month out of the year. Learn how this new program can increase the productivity of your retail space by contacting your MacPherson’s Account Manager today!
To help with the introduction of these exciting new pads, Strathmore has designed support materials for retailers including 16” x 20” posters, shelf labels, shelf flags, and print-in-store flyers available on their Retailer and Distributor Tools section of the website at www.strathmoreartist.com
