our commitment to you during COVID – 19
UPDATED: March 16, 2020
We want to update you on The Pablove Foundation’s planning and response to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, with our continued focus on guarding the safety and well-being of our communities, with a special eye on our Shutterbugs who may be immunocompromised.
The Pablove Foundation includes a wonderful Scientific Advisory Board, that is charged with selecting the most impactful research to fund help find a cure. This Board is comprised of medical and medical research professionals, and we have consulted some of them on what we – as a Foundation – should consider going forward. Further, we are in touch with our Hospital partners across the nation, and we are adapting according to their recommendations. We are obviously concerned about our Shutterbugs:
- Houston Shutterbugs Introductory Class (Spring 2020): Class has been postponed until further notice
- All Other Introductory Classes: Postponed until further notice
- New York City Advanced Class: Classes will be held online for the remainder of the current session
- Shutterbugs Summer Camp (June): No change as of now
- All Shutterbugs Gallery Shows originally scheduled for the spring will be postponed until further notice
- Pablove Shutterbugs graduation events will be conducted online
We will be in touch with parents and Shutterbugs supporting teaching teams if and when plans change with additional information.
The Pablove Foundation and its origin are based on love and community. We continue to believe that community matters but it must reflect the guidance for health policy advisors. To stay safe, we recommend:
- Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds
- Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze then throw the tissue in the trash. Then wash your hands with soap and water
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid shaking hands and instead use an alternative greeting protocol
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick (stay 6 feet away)
- Clean and disinfect all frequently touched objects and surfaces
- Heed the advice from your local authorities
For questions and concerns, please contact [email protected] or email me at [email protected]
with care and pablove,
Kerstin Lynam

what a show! pablove shutterbugs la gallery show recap
Wow! On March 5th, Pablove’s home base rallied together to celebrate our LA Shutterbugs! We are thrilled to have such a strong Los Angeles community, and that includes vital supporters like YOU. We had an incredible turnout for this special evening to shine a light on local pediatric cancer families.
And now, drumroll please: The top-selling print was: Unicorn Flowers by Pablove Shutterbug Alina, age 7.
How fun is this shot? It brings us back to our childhoods. Do you love it? You can order any of the prints from the show (and other cities!) from our online Pablove Prints Shop here. Custom sizing available. Pablove Prints make the perfect gifts!
As always 100% of proceeds from every print directly funds Pablove’s childhood cancer research grants program.
