JASON SHANAMAN - ARTIST & SCULPTOR HOSTING FUNDRAISER FOR MAKE A CHIMP SMILE!

Jason Shanaman who is a sculptor is hosting a fundraiser for Make a Chimp Smile! You can read his bio below and he also has a website sculpture by jason shanaman .

The sculptures for the fundraiser are called "Primal Thinker" and they only cost $40. Jason who loves great apes and has supported other sanctuaries with his art is generous to donate 50% of his proceeds to Make a Chimp Smile. I'm really excited about this and hope that everyone will support this fundraiser. My mom bought me one and I can't wait till it comes in the mail. This would make a really nice present for someone and be supporting chimpanzees too!

"Jason Shanaman started sculpting in 2002 and mainly focused on frogs and lizards. Around 2005 he started to focus on orangutans and then went on to helping with fundraisers for Dr. Gary Shapiro of Orangutan Republik by donating sculptures and creating new work like magnets to help out and raise awareness. He has since went on to create sculptures of mountain gorillas and chimpanzees as well and has a strong desire to see the end of confinement for chimpanzees used in medical research and is also very supportive of the Great Ape Protection Act. He is currently creating new work of various endangered animals to be cast in environmentally friendly casting materials. His primary focus however will always be the great apes."

I REACHED MY FIRST GOAL!!!

Hi Everybody!

For those that haven't seen yet. We did it!!! Thanks to everyone who supported Make a Chimp Smile we raised $2500 to migrate a chimp. Save the Chimps Sanctuary will be announcing it soon. I will post it too!
I am really happy and everyone was so nice that donated. I couldn't have done it without everyone helping me spread the word.

I started this blog last December to migrate a chimp name Boy to Save the Chimps. He was lucky enough to be migrated before I raised enough money. Now he is able to spend the rest of his life being free on his island. If he wants to he can sleep under the stars. Or he can climb to the top of a platform and lay in the sun. He is getting good food to eat, breathing fresh air and spending time with his family. I can't wait for the new chimp to get there!

Boy at Save the Chimps Sanctuary

Fort Pierce, Florida

I have raised my goal up another $2500 to migrate another chimp. I have lots of ideas on new fundraisers so I will let you know when I post them. I will also put them up on the Make a Chimp Smile facebook group and twitter page.

There are still 60 more chimps that need to be migrated from New Mexico to Florida. I am so happy that Save the Chimps was able to rescue them from The Coulston Foundation. I am hoping more people will learn about what these chimps went through and want to help migrate them to one of the islands at Save the Chimps Sanctuary.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Come back Soon!

your chimp friend,

Brandon
