A recent grant recipient was Olivia’s Bird Illustrations, who we wrote about in a previous post. Olivia is raising money through her artwork to help save animals affected by the oil spill in the Gulf Coast. She and the cast of Disney’s Camp Rock 2 recently cleaned up the Gulf of Mexico with Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup.
