The Gallery on 5th Project
I founded the Gallery on 5th Project in 2001 after the grand tragedy of 9/11, That is when my whole attitude about how I was to live my life change forever!
The Gallery has raised over 1 million dollars for local, national and International non-profit organizations.

The Gallery on 5th has raised Money for major disasters like Hurricane Katrina “RED CROSS” , 9/11 “Volunteers of America” & South East Asia Tsunami “Project Concern International.
We have also raised money for Cure and Research of Illness Like HIV/Aids “The Centre”, Grocery Hearts Foundation, Cancer , Scripps Cancer Foundation”, Susan Komen Breast Cancer Fund & Tijuana’s General Hospital Children’s Cancer Ward.
We also held fundraisers fo local organizations like, Art Bus Express, A.R.T.S a reason to survive, G-etm Global Education Thru Music, The Children’s Museum, The House of Mexico, San Diego’s Aids Fund, Child Abuse prevention Foundation, North County Humane Society, SD Mexican Cultural Institute and many others through out the years.
