After Nikki & Doug Mark lost their son Tommy suddenly & in his sleep, they founded TM23 to enable other young people to engage with fun, healthy activities and connect with their communities. They’ve most recently raised funds and support to plan and build two public parks in Los Angeles (named Tommy's Field)

To assist with TM23s volunteer/donor engagement I apprenticed and assisted w/Betsey Carter Ceramics in the planning, sculpting, photographing, packaging, and transport of hundreds of mugs and other ceramic items with custom TM23 "play-" centered designs for 2023 TM23 Foundation fundraiser and giveaway.
