Zion Williamson Art Auction for COVID-19 Relief

This online auction is inspired by Zion Williamson's generous pledge to cover the salaries for all of the Smoothie King Center workers for 30 days. At a time like this, all small gestures help. So, to give back to the New Orleans community and join Zion in his efforts to help relieve some of the hardships during the COVID-19 crisis, I decided to host an auction for one of my paintings. All of the proceeds and donations made from this auction will be given to the Greater New Orleans Foundation's (GNOF) Louisiana Service and Hospitality Family Assistance Program.

The GNOF launched the Louisiana Service and Hospitality Family Assistance Program as an initiative to support negatively impacted Louisiana service and hospitality workers who are supporting their dependent children and elderly parents and need help to continue meeting their basic needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
