Fitzy Snowman Sculpting, Carving for a Cure 2009 Master Sand Artist, Sean Fitzpatrick to Create Unique Sand Sculpture of Mike lowell to benefit the Jimmy Fund at Boston City Hall Plaza June 9 - 11
BOSTON- A life-size sand sculpture of Red Sox great Mike Lowell will be created at Boston City Hall Plaza June 9 - 11, to support the Jimmy Fund.
Fitzpatrick's father lost his battle with cancer at the age of 39. Fitzpatrick, now 42, feels an immediate sense of purpose to help rid the world of the disease. His inspiration to build Mike Lowell to benefit cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund, is in memory of his father. My dad always provided me with an endless source of support for my artistic passion, said Fitzpatrick. Using my gift to sculpt, I hope to help countless cancer patients. It is also my way to say thanks to my dad for his compassion. Fitzpatrick's sand sculpture of Lowell will only be on display at City Hall Plaza until June 11th. Donations for the Jimmy Fund will be accepted at the Sculpture.
