While SIGGRAPH is returning to the fantastic city of New Orleans this year, the city itself hasn’t yet fully recovered from the havok and destruction of Katrina. The “Make-It-Right” foundation has partnered with the SIGGRAPH Graphic Pioneers to help survivors by rebuilding a house.
“We have had wonderful experiences in New Orleans for the SIGGRAPH conference,” said Kathleen Maher, vice president, Jon Peddie Research and a member of the SIGGRAPH Graphics Pioneers. “However, the devastation Katrina left in its wake is unfathomable, and unless you’ve seen it firsthand, it’s really hard to imagine. The SIGGRAPH Pioneers encourage the graphics community to band together and help support the victims of Hurricane Katrina by helping New Orleans return to its former glory,” continues Maher. “Every dollar counts to help ‘Make it Right’ for those families still trying to recover from such the devastation.”
Donations of any amount are accepted. Full details and announcement after the break.
