Pictoons forms Charitable Foundation

March 10, 2007 - PRLog -- /PressRelease/ - GULF BREEZE, FL, March 10, 2007 -- The Pictoons Guys announced today the formation of The Pictoons Foundation.  

The Mission of The Pictoons Foundation is to make the world a better place by supporting Charitable Organizations.

"We believe our Mission Statement says it all," stated Joel Barksdale, Operations Director of st martini productions (smp), the parent company of the Pictoons ventures.  He explained that: "We have contemplated this important addition to our company for some time. The Pictoons Foundation was formally established in late 2006.  Each year the Foundation ( http://www.pictoons.net/foundation.html) will receive 20% of the net profits of smp and donate 100% of that to worthy causes.

For calendar year 2006, the Foundation chose the following two organizations to receive equal contributions.  We strongly agree with their missions / goals.

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)
>  The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse, sharing resources with shelters across the country or educating the public to treat all animals humanely and with respect, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear. We strive to end animal cruelty.

National Park Foundation
>  The Mission of the National Park Foundation, chartered by Congress, is to strengthen the enduring connection between the American people and their National Parks by raising private funds, making strategic grants, creating innovative partnerships and increasing public awareness."

Jim Bledsoe, Technical Director of smp, added: "As our business grows and prospers and our fan base expands, we thought it only right that we share with those in need.  We are very pleased that we have brought this company goal to fruition."
