Artist Donates Work to Benefit Trevor Project

A prominent artist has offered exclusive first-edition prints of his latest piece to raise funds for The Trevor Project, a leading suicide prevention organization for LGBT youth based in West Hollywood.

Thirty-six prints of New York-based Robert Longo's "Flag" are available for a $3,900 donation per print.

"I am proud to donate this piece to benefit The Trevor Project's life-saving mission," Longo said in a statement. "When I learned about The Trevor Project, I was struck by the number of young people who don't have that invaluable support system. That's why I chose Trevor, because their work is so crucial to letting every young person know that someone cares about their future."

Members of The Trevor Project's board of trustees approached Longo about donating prints for use as a fundraiser.

"The Leadership Circle is enthusiastic about Mr. Longo's interest and involvement in The Trevor Project and Trevor LIVE," board co-chairman Ron Valdez said in a statement. "We are looking forward to building this new relationship with him and with the art world at large, and are thankful for Mr. Longo's generous donation to help save young lives."

Trevor LIVE is a fundraising gala scheduled for June 17 in New York City that will feature two of Longo's prints.

Longo is an award-winning painter and sculptor whose work is featured in museum collections worldwide.
