Martin Lawrence Galleries (MLG) is proud to announce its partnership with Bisous for Léo (Kisses for Leo) an ancillary arm of the INADCure Foundation, which strives to eradicate Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD). This partnership is the latest in MLG’s continuing philanthropic efforts to use art to positively impact those in need.
A limited edition lithograph, “Seal With A Kiss,” from renowned artist Robert Deyber, will be offered for sale with a significant portion of proceeds going to benefit Bisous for Léo. The work will make its debut at the MLG’s VIP gala held from July 12th to July 14th at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Robert Deyber will be present during the event to hand-sign each work. Following the gala, “Seal With A Kiss” will be available at all Martin Lawrence Galleries across the country.
About Bisous For Léo
Bisous for Léo was founded by Léo's parents after learning of their son's diagnosis with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy at just two-years-old. INAD is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease often referred to as "Parkinson's mixed with Alzheimer's affecting kids." Bisous for Léo is seeking to raise an initial $500,000 to fund research and development in gene therapy. The need for funding is urgent, as the progression of INAD is rapid after the onset of symptoms.
