Official Announcement 📣: Exciting Updates for the Metamorphosis Gala!

September 26, 2024Theron Cook

What to Expect?

The gala will feature a live and silent auction, where guests will have the chance to bid on exclusive art pieces and unique experiences. Proceeds from the event will be directed toward the future establishment of Don't Quit Omniversity, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at providing a collaborative space where creatives and entrepreneurs can engage in educational workshops, networking events, and mental health awareness programs. This hub will foster creativity and set up young and seasoned professionals for success by integrating art, business, and mental wellness.

"The Metamorphosis Gala is more than just a fundraiser—it's the start of a movement. With Don't Quit Omniversity, we’re not just offering education; we're building a space where creatives can feel safe, collaborate, and grow, both personally and professionally. This gala is our chance to bring people together to support something bigger than us—an initiative that’s built to last and impact lives for years to come," says Cook.

In addition, 10% of the gala’s proceeds will benefit The Real Deal 610, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the needs of the youth in Berks County. The partnership with The Real Deal 610 emphasizes the connection between creativity and mental well-being, offering a holistic approach to empowering individuals through art and community support.

Seleda, Executive Director and Founder of The Real Deal 610, states, "Our youth face challenges that often go unnoticed. The funds raised through this gala will allow us to expand our services and reach more young people who desperately need support. Partnering with Theron and his foundation feels like a perfect alignment of creativity, community, and healing. Together, we’re giving our youth the tools they need to thrive."

September is Suicide Prevention Month

September 19, 2024Theron Cook

**World Suicide Prevention Day!**
Community Health Fair and a Butterfly release to pay tribute to those we’ve lost.

Zumba- Combat-Kick-A-Thon Raising Awareness on Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Event.

Shoutout to Minnie Ocasio for allowing me to be apart of this great event. Mental health and suicidal prevention are very very important to me and I'm a huge advocate. One of the lessons life teaches us is Love what we have before life teaches us to love what we lost.

I love seeing people come together to support a great cause.

The live painting I was working on has to do with the inner work of balancing the mystery of the brain and secrets of the heart. Action is the cure to gain the wisdom to spend your time. Help is available and there are amazing people willing and able to help you #Getbetter & shoutout to Tremayne & all my therapist friends.

The finished painting along with a few other collaborations will be auctioned off at:

"Be A Seed And Grow As One" Mural

September 19, 2024Theron Cook

Start to finish progress pics of the latest mural "Be a SEED and grow as one.".. Wings to show you what you can become and Roots to remind you where you're from.

We plant seeds every single day, in the world and in others, with every thought we think, word we speak, and action we take. We have influence. We're making a dent in the universe and we matter, in a very real way. The greatest forces are intangible so I create my future with my imagination.

Don't Quit

Shoutout to @southofpenn.

@barrioalegriaco @loljarel & everyone involved for making this happen.
