The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists is seeking a volunteer grapic artist(s) versed in Photoshop to prepare photos for the book, "CHAD, a Celebration of Life - Beyond A Mother's Memories."

It is a story about the life of the young namesake of the foundation and its journey to safeguard hearts and help save young lives through preventive screenings.
The candidate has intermediate or professional skills in "Photoshop" - and can take some existing photo images; some that are already digitized, and others to be prepared from existing photo prints; and prepare them "digitally" into 300 ppi, into Black & White, for2" x 2" images to be inserted into the upcoming hardcover and paperback book. Some images may require slight refinement.
The Chad Foundation for Athletes & Artists, a non-profit, charitable organization was founded when its namesake, Chad Butrum, died suddenly of Sudden Cardiac Death, with no history of heart disease while playing football. He was just 26 yrs. old. To date Chad has provided 7,900 preventive heart screenings for youth, athletes and students and 9 off-Broadway theater productions dealing with important themes, such as anti-substance abuse. Chad serves all people of every heritage, age, and orientation. We invite you to see Chad's "Gifts of Heart and Art" on the website, www.chadfoundation.org. Thank you so much for your interest in our foundation book which will help raise the importance of Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young and the importance of reventive screenings. We look forward to hearing from you!

Description
On April 29, Chad was playing football in Van Nuys, CA, and collapsed suddenly and died with no history of heart disease. The Chad Foundation for Athletes and Artists was founded, to raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death and inspire youth to live as he did- anti-substance abuse and alcohol-free, "Healthy body/mind/ spirit." (Chad never smoked a cigarette or drank an alcoholic beverage his entire Life.)
The Gift of Heart and Art
The Chad Foundation provides preventive heart screenings that detect unknown heart anomalies and safeguard hearts. Chad has provided cardiovascular screening events in 5 states and abroad (Austria, screening 16 countries of athletes and Sweden, screening 26 countries of athletes participating in the "Homeless Streetsoccer World Cups") for a total of 9,250 persons screened. In NY, post 9-11, Chad provided 2,000 NYPD officers with complete cardiovascular screenings at The NY Police Academy. Columbia University football players also received free echocardiograms, ECGs, diabetes, cholesterol, BMI (obesity), and blood pressure screenings.
The Chad Players provided 9 Off-Broadway multi-cultural performances to challenge the mind and heal the spirit, including their production of "Days of Wine and Roses." The play was sponsored by "The Atlantic City Commission on Missing & Abused Children" as the community event of the year to show teens the deleterious effects substance abuse can have on the family.
