About Sally's Studio

Sally’s Studio is a non-for profit Art Therapy Program, funded by the Beat Tom & Bill Charity Golf Outing, (BTB Foundation) Since it’s inception in 2002, BTB has raised more than $200K in monetary donations for several cancer-related charities and local families. In 2009, BTB sponsored Sally Gorney-Avila and her family and friends wanted to create a separate charity to directly help cancer patients on an ongoing basis.

Our journey begins with Lutheran General Hospital and their Advanced Center for Care.  We feel this program combines Sally's love of art with the strength and tenacity she exhibited while fighting this disease.  Our goal is to help make a patient's day a bit brighter as they receive their cancer treatment.  It is our hope that this program will open the door to the art world, provide meditative meditative relaxation, or simply put a smile on each patient's face.  It is our way of channeling our love and energy for Sally into a positive force by creating a program to honor her legacy.  

This program is made possible by The Schneider Family Fund, the BTB Foundation, and other private donations in conjunction with the Brickton Art Center, located at 306 Busse Highway, Park Ridge, IL.  Alyssa Kulak, Executive Director of the Brickton Art Center is a licensed Art Therapist who facilitates the sessions.  Sally's Studio is completly free to all patients receiving cancer treatments at Lutheran General Hospital and is intended to promote healing, balance and good vibes.
